Hi all,

 

Ok, whilst stripping my rear sub-frame assembly today, with the plan to replace the rear disc guards; with the ones from the turbo sub-frame assembly, I noticed that one hub nut is way smaller than the rest, plus the treads on this one are much thicker, wider threads -

 

 

I'm assuming this isn't normal? My thoughts perhaps that someone re-threaded it, or used a driveshaft from a different car...

 

Will a turbo driveshaft fit an NA, so that I can replace this oddly threaded monstrosity?

 

Also, will my rear turbo hubs / guards even fit on my NA, I do realise that the HICAS bush hole, on the hub arm, is smaller (and different) than the NA 'suspension / trailing arm' bush. I was hoping to enlarge the hole, or hopefully replace the HICAS hub bush with the NA bush. All I really want are the guards! (the NA ones are rotten).

This is how normal threads look -

 

Well, please can anyone tell me if the driveshaft from a turbo will fit into an NA sub-frame assemble and Diff? They look the same, as far as I can tell.

As far as I'm aware the na drive shafts are 5 bolt the tt ones are 6 bolt. Or do you mean will the hub assembly fit? pretty sure they are different aswel as they use different bearings.

Thanks!

 

I can count the bolts to see if there is a difference. I know the prop is different. If the hubs are different, then I guess I could cut off my rotten guards....shame though.
