will a drivers side VG MT axle swap into a VG AT axle if they both have abs? i have it from my parts car and i really dont want to spend the $ for a rebuilt one if i dont have to. i know im auto to manual swap threads i have seen both be said, you can and cant, so what the story? thanks, juan

 

Maybe take it to a parts store and compare?

 

yeah i just wanted to get it done tonight. i would just take it out and compare side by side, but i dont want to get stuck in the dark trying to finish this off, especially since its going to rain tomorrow and this is my fiance's car( the 93) so she needs it back. ah whatever, im gonna do it and see what happens

 

Auto ones will work with a manual tranny, so I would think that it would work........

You still haven't swapped yet? Lazy lazy lazy

 

they be the same, paul is the man. now after all that work i need a ball joint for that same side, so ill have to take the whole thing appart again......................

 

take it apart? bah... just put a 1/4" piece of steel between the ball joint nut and the axle.. use a bigarse wrench and back the nut off the ball joint until it pops out of the spindle. makes it quick and easy.

 

thats pretty much how i did the axle and control arm.i never took the strut or spindle out. the ball joint that came on the used arm was shot, but the arm was good, so i decided to reuse my ball joint, since there were no outside signs of wear(and there was so much play in the control arm i couldnt feel a thing) there's such a differance already though in the way it handles compared to before.

 

used parts =

 

i had considered buying the ball joint and a new bushing to rebuild the old arm from you, but that may have changed my mind. i have used plenty of recycled parts on my cars. you just have to be able to tell if it is still useable or not. i would trust a used oem control arms alot more than an aftermarket produced arm( which may not be made of the same strength material as oe or fit like an oe would. rebuilt cores are one thing, reproduction parts are another...........

 

Sold 26 of em so far and NO complaints on them yet.
and they come with the BJs now.

 

got the control arm for FREE, and the axle i had from my parts car, so you dont see me complaining either what would have cost me 150+ shipping+ core charge will only be $20 for a ball joint.

 

what's $150?

 

90 for the arm, 60 for an axle

 

dude, do yourself a favor and shut the hell up, always have to have something to say, everyone knows you sell parts just cause someone else buys something that you sell not from you, you dont have to make stupid comments. I sell stuff to but if someone doesnt buy a bag from me I dont diss what they bought.

posts like that =x10

 

Didn't add the axle in , cause I don't expect people to buy axles from me. easier to buy local.

 

you're lucky that the mods haven't banned you yet.
I wasn't "dissin'" him I was simply stating that you're better off with new versus USED with unknown mileage/wear

NOW STFU!

 

SO?

 

Get ummmmmmm! Would someone ban that guy...he doesnt even have a maxima :crazy: just an ugly green thing that I'm still tryin to determine what it is

 

Feel... FEEL THE LOVE!

 

I only beatchout the fools who start when their ain't nothin'

 

Banning is bad, just beat them with a large trout.


Personally, I would use the used part if I had it laying around. Then again I'm poor so

 

IF it's lying around and you know it's history or it's free then I'd probably use it too.
