i have a 83 gsl that is smashed up and would like to remove the suspension and renew all the parts for my 85 gs.

are all the parts the same?

i do know that the rear end has bigger axels in the 85 what else is different.

thanks

chris

 

it will work same ****

Sent from my SCH-I415 using RX7Club

 

The 84-85 has a different spindle. The outer wheel bearings are bigger and the spindle is considered to be a up grade (stronger) over the 83 and earlier spindles. As a result 84-85 12A cars use a different part number rotor.

 

I believe the control arms are slightly different too but I'm not 100% sure. That may only be for the 79-82.

 

Bigger axles and bigger spindles, thats about it. The other parts are all the same as Wacky says.

 

Yep like they said, front outer wheel bearing is bigger, and the rear axles (and housing) are bigger. Everything else is interchangeable - control arms, tension rods, strut tops etc etc.

 

The gslse is possibly different.

 

^Only thing different in the front is the hub/rotor (it's still a once piece like the 12a cars) and the brake caliper. In the rear it's just the axles, rotors and again the calipers that are different. The control arms, spindles, strut tops etc are all the same as the non Se cars. Even the rear axle housing is the same as the GSL (84/85 big bearing of course)

 

thank you all for your help.
