alright i went down to Parts Plus and ordered my driver side rear axles for my rx7.i tell them mine is a turbo II cause im converting the drivetrain over to Turbo II. now when i get the axle and try to put it onto the rear end it wont bolt up. my question is is there a difference between turbo II axles from S4 to S5 rear ends . is the bolt pattern the same on the rear end.also this axles i got bolted up to my na rear end that i have out of the car .cause right now im pissed.

 

You can't mix na and turbo drivetrain parts.

 

time to start looking for a turbo diff

 

i know you cant mix axles . i have a turbo II diff on there right now . i ordered the drive turbo II axles for my car cause that was the only one i needed left and i ordered it for a 1990 turbo II . but when i tried to install it it wouldnt go on cause the pattern was different . but it would go on my old N/A rear end fine. do you think the parts store just mixed them up?

 

It could still be a turbo II half shaft. It will fit on an n/a. There is about a inch of difference. If you have the other side I suggest you measure them.

 

no the length isnt the problem its the bolt patteren on the diff. you know how there are 4bolts that hold the axles to the the diff. well on the turbo II one on my car the bolt patteren is bigger. that is what i mean by my axles wont fit onto the diff.

 

It's next to impossible to get turbo FC rear axles.
You have a non-turbo one.

N/A axles

 

929 axle will work, one side of them is a bolt on for TIIs, there is a thread on the v8 rx7 forum about it.

Last time I needed a TII axle my local autozone had them, I just ended up getting a used one instead, this was only last year.

 

is a 929 rear wheel drive and what side works for them never heard of using that before. and i found only the passager side axle or i wouldnt trying to trcack driver side down.

 

how much did you pay for that axle

 

the one i got from Parts Plus which they just ordered me a new one i payed $75.

 

They are more than likely n/a axles. If they don't bolt up to the turbo diff, they are n/a. I had to get mine from a forum member.

 

Yes the bolt pattern is smaller on a N/A than a TII. sorry man you got Shafted!

 

If you measure dist to centerline of the bolt holes i will do the same check when I get home today to confirm.
