Third member/axle splines question
« on: January 28, 2008, 07:03:41 PM »
So my rear diff is on its way out, and I need to pull the 3rd member and replace it. My Sidekick is a 1997 4 door, and I read somewhere that in 96 they changed the spline count on the axleshafts from 22 to 26 splines or something like that. Was this just in the front, or did it also apply to the rear? It'd be real nice if I could just tear a 3rd out of any old 5-speed TrackKick in a junkyard and not have to worry about it being compatible or not!

The rears are the same 26 spline, just make sure that the new one has anti lock brakes if yours does(a plug on the front of the diff with two wires coming out.)and the same gear ratio.
