EA-82 axles are longer than EA-81 axles, so you have to get them off an EA-81 car. :)

Also, turbo axles are different from non-turbo. You would likely be safe with any '82, '83 and '84 wagon; if there are any Brats or Hatches in the mix, you can go as late as 1987 for your axles. Check the write up in the USRM for hints and tips for changing the axle.

not sure what the diffrence between a EA-82 and an EA_81 or what i have the hollander interchange but it not giving me that info so if ytou can explain to me the diffrence betwwen is be great

You have an 83 GL which is the EA81 body style. The next newer body style which was made from 85-94 is known as EA82. The axles do not interchange. an axle from either side of another EA81 will work. Any from 82-89 with the same style body as yours.

They did start making that style in 1980 but most likely anything that old will be the older Gen 1 body style which is different. Good luck with your search!

ok now im confused again

ok now im confused again

 

They made your style car in those years plus a few. Any axles from either side from a car that has the same body style as your car will fit in.

Here is an EA82 (Thanks The Loyale)

And here is an EA81 (Mine)

So anything from the EA81 style will fit your car

so, let me either make it either clear or confusing!!

 

will axles from a FWD 5spd carter/weber ea81 work for a 4wd AT ea81t ?????

 

 

if so, :banana:

here the interchange for my year

1982 - 1987 BRAT

 

1980 - 1982 GLF

1980 - 1984 DL

 

1980 - 1984 STANDARD

1980 - 1989 GL

 

1987 STANDARD

1987 - 1989 GL-10

Yup! That's all the years that fit, but just remember that they all have the same body style as your car!!! There are a couple different body styles that intersect with those years, so in order for the axle to fit your car, it has to be the same style.
