Can anyone tell me if the rear axels from a SWB 1.6EFI Vit will fit my LWB 99 2.5 V6 GV? They are both 26 Spline. It is more so the length I'm thinking about.

[tombutt]

pretty sure they wouldnt mate the length would be wrong same prop as a sv vitara


but theres a wrecked xl7 thats fairly complete at a wreckers in brendale

GV is longer

XL7 is 27 spline

are the diffs same ratio as Gv? and are they stronger diffs in the XL7?

Don't know about the ratio, but I'd say they are definately beefier than the GV diffs.

Diff may be, but the axle's still snap like twig's..even soccer mum's snap em..

So whats the best thing to replace them with?
And don't say a sierra.

[royce]

more GV axels, there is no alternate outside of customer floaters and cromo axles that likely wont be any stronger anyway

[Mugwui]

No Problems, thought I'd ask before I go and spend money on something I don't need.
I already have left & right rear vit axels from one that I wrecked a while ago, but I'll just go find some GV one axels.

Ok I won't...

Does anyone know what changes to the rear gv diff were made around 01?
Just curious have been doing some reading and apparently a Vitara auto locker will fit the early GV's but not the later 02-05 models.
