A few months back i snapped a stub shaft on my gxl, so i had to throw in an open diff to get my car rolling and i have grown tired of the open diff. I have another open diff and i wanted to know if the stub shafts are interchangable between an na open diff and na lsd rear ends. They look slightly different from the out side, and i dont want to tear down the open diff just to find out they dont.

Bottom line, open diff stub shaft in lsd rear end?

Thanks all,

What style lsd? clutch or vlsd?

 

VLSD ( s5 ) NA are different, unequal length stub shafts

apart from that the stub shafts are classeed either 26 ( NA ) or 30 spline ( turbo )

as a rule the stub shafts are shorter before the late s4 VIN change

ie
late s4 ( LSD or open ) and s5 ( open,, not VLSD ) should interchange

and also early s4 LSD and s4 open should interchange
