Rear End + Axles
 

for all the FC gods out there i was just wondering as to how much Horsepower a stock 1988 GX Differential and Axles can handle up to. If someone could give me a rough estimate im debating if i should do a 5 bolt swap or not.. Thanks :bigthumb:

250ishlbs of torque seems to be the norm, some more, some less :(.

If you have a GXL, it should be a 5 bolt hub already :o!

The GX is the base model in Canada, Correct? All the NA's have the same diff, ring and pinion (strength wise). The only difference is lsd or non-lsd. The 5 lug hubs will take more abuse than the 4 lug, but those are usually the last to fail.

in 88 the GX was the same as the USA spec SE model

lol believe me i wish this was a GXL.. but i bought the car for 350$ CND lol thnx for the help guys!
