Surf Axle Question

January 19, 2006

Hi

Can anyone tell me if, providing final drive ratios are the same, whether a rear axle with diff lock from a '94 hilux surf can be fitted to a a '98 mk4 hilux 2.4td?

Cheers

If you mean the complete casing there will be a few things that are different, the surf one will be wider and it will have a coil spring setup, not sure but I assume that you have leaf springs.

You also need to make sure that the front and rear ratios are the same, otherwise you will get wind up when in 4wd.

This might help you with the ratios. http://www.off-road.com/toyota/tech/other/4_axles.html
