May 9, 200520 yr I have an 86 gl that has had both axles replaced 3 times in the past two years!!! I searched and searched for them (axles) in second hand part shops and such but never could find the correct ones to fit. That continued for a bit then I ran into a person whom informed me that the two car share the same axel.?! Is that true? I can't seem to find a good fit for them, can anyone help?? 901-219-2910
May 9, 200520 yr the GL and brat have different front axles as one is an EA81 (brat) and the other is an EA82 ('86 GL) - the splines should be the same, but the length will be different - that said, any front axle off a '85-'94 GL/Loyale non-turbo will work - turbo 4-speed autos and MT turbos have a different spline count that said, I think the rear axles are interchangeable between the brat and GL why go used when you can go reman with a lifetime gurantee for under $100? think how many used axles you may break in the lifetime of one reman, as used ones are usually worn out anyway - which is really cheaper? - not to mention labor and time spent under the car
