(DRIVETRAIN) Small axles Vs. large axles
Hey guys, I have a newbie question. I heard that there are "big axle" and "small axle" first gens. Which model had which (GSL/GSL-SE)? Is the difference only in axle diameter or is there a difference in the spline diameter also?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

1970-1983, Small Bearing, Small Spline. Rx2, Rx3 had LH and RH axles that were different lengths. SA cars were same length both sides. All were 4x110mm bolt pattern.
1984-1985 12A, Big Bearing, Big Spline. 4x110MM bolt pattern
1984-1985 13B (GSL-SE), Big Bearing, Big Spline. 4x4.5 bolt pattern. Longer than 12A axles from the bearing to the wheel mounting surface.
1981-1985 Housings are all the same lenght from flange to flange.
