Re: AWD to FWD conversion 5spd

You want to go with the FWD axles they are better, they have a little more beef to them.

Re: AWD to FWD conversion 5spd

Aren't you doing things bass ackwards? AWD to FWD..?

Also, FWD axles work with an AWD Trans? If so, upsides? Downsides?

They only work if you dont have a transfer case, otherwise the inner CV joint would interfere with that.

Fwd axles would be a downgrade though, as the awd drivers side axle is a 2piece design with a rigidly supported section that should take out a lot of torque steer.

they also are not equal length which means wheel hop. Good fight though.
