rearend Swap questions.

!12! · 09-28-2006, 03:12 PM

I have a 1985 corolla gts and I am looking to get another rearend because mine went out. Im wondering is there an alternative rearend from other cars that will bolt on directly on there?

thanks

sorry emission but the MK2 has Irs that would need to be custom fitted to the corrolla and it doesnt bolt up

the MK1 has a solid axel that has all the same attacment points as a AE86 so it bolts up but finding one with an LSD is harder but you could get the center section of a MK2 with LSD and swap it into the MK1 solid axel
