Disclaimer: This may have a few questions about stuff other than an axle swap, so bear with me.
The 2000 4dr sport i just purchased for $1700 has some messed up stuff going on with the axles... BUT it came with a 4inch (I think) RE lift with LCA drop brackets, an air-comressor, and an acceptable stereo system.
Front:
The top of front tire on the drivers side leans in towards the car and the tire is worn out very unevenly. I want to swap in a D30 out of a 95ish 4cyl with a manual for 4.10 gearing... Is this a good choice? I'm going for low cost and an easy swap.
Rear:
The rear is a Chrysler 8.25 (I like this axle) and it makes a bunch of noise and will lock up and skip and bark my tires in tight turns and it makes horrible noises and there's a big thud coming from back there when I put the transmission into gear. I'd like to keep this axle, but swap in 4.10s... Were there still 4cyl's in 98+ with an 8.25 that will have 4.10s? Am I better of swapping in the whole axle or just swapping gears?
Other useful info:
I just bought a set of 5 32x11.5 R15 BFG A/Ts and 4 PCW wheels for $400. I love these wheels becuase the tires stick out about 1.5-2inches now. I can pick up complete axles from a local junk yard for $100 a pop, so an axle swap seems like a good choice.
Thanks for Looking. :rof:
