Alright, there was a member here who was gonna test out compatibility between 4th gen and 3rd gen rear cv axles/half-shafts but has since vanished.
I am gonna do it for everyone, once and for all. I can’t keep driving on torn boot, clanking rear cvs.
PASS Side:
3rd Gen is IDENTICAL and bolts right up. Ignore the “length” difference, as the old cv is disintegrating and popped out (refuses to stay together)
Squished they are the SAME.
Please see pic of the 3rd gen axle installed in my 4th gen. Splines line up in wheel bearing, spindle hub is the same, it’s literally the same other than not having tripodal boots.
Driver’s side is 6 inches + longer. Stay tuned. I am gonna try to kit bash third gen ends and maybe inner bearings, with the fourth gen center shaft.
Cliffs: 3rd gen pass side rear cv is a direct bolt on replacement in 4th gen.
Driver’s side: stay tuned.
