notsteve 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2013 Hi all, I need to determine which axles i need for my e30. The outer CV has gone on one so I am just going to go ahead and replace both, probably second hand. The issue I am having is that everyone asks which diff is in the car, but i have had both a small and medium case diff in the car with the same axles, and I cant be sure which was originally in it as the vehicle came with both. If it helps, the splines go into a disk foot brake and drum handbrake set up. If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd be stoked, Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) i too have swapped a medium case diff into a car that came with a small case and didnt have to change the diff. so it doesnt matter what diff you have in there, they are the same. what does (arguably) matter is 325i axels are thicker than all other E30 motors. again however, i used stock 320i axels in a M52 2.8L conversion and never broke anything. good luck! e: thier not there typo!
