| | I wonder if I have confused things by not having the right words at hand.
Years ago, I had an '85 LeBaron GTS. In order to equalize the length of
|
front
| | axles, there was a "mid shaft". I understand that somewhere around '87 the
|
mid
| | shaft disappeared, although the mounting holes were left and it could be
|
retro
Not true- ALL manual transmission turbo cars continued to have the mid-shaft
setup and selected automatic cars did not.
| | More recently, I had a '89 turbo van. That did not have the mid shaft
arrangement.
|
As already pointed out that is correct, I am told that the manual turbo vans
did though.
| | I have a '88 Lancer ES coming. Should that have the "mid shaft"
and large spline axles?
|
Large spline yes (all 87 and up full size cars did, only the L bodies
continued on with the small shaft setup till 89)
Not sure about the equal length axle setup as they were phasing them out on
the autos in this time frame.
