WTB near Columbus, OH. 8.8 or 7.5 rear end. The whole thing would be nice so I don't have to do backlash and shimmy. Four lug would be best so I can keep the snowflake wheels. I'm willing to consider 5 lug if price and location is within reach. I would like to find 3.08 -to- 3.55 gears to keep highway RPM's low for highway 70MPH roads.
If you have a carrier assembly for a 7.5 for sale I could use that in the mean time to get the car back on the road. Prefer limited slip but that's okay if it's not.
Reason is passenger side, outer wheel bearing went. A piece ended up traveling through the housing into the spider gear and put me on park. Car is a daily driver and I am experiencing downtime. Thank you for reading.
I have one in Northern Virginia near D.C. for $175. Has 3.55 gears. From an 88 Turbo Coupe that had 89,000 miles on it.
Bump. Virginia is a long way away for me to drive. Thank you for the offer though, but I am continuing to look elsewhere.
Almost any 7.5" or 8.8" would basically be plug and play. The only differences between most of them are the spring perch style/location and the brake brackets and axle length.
You should be able to take basically any rear end and simply swap your axle shafts and brakes onto it.
