Guys I know there might be some brake work to do I am only concerned about weather the axle will bolt onto the body . The axle I want to buy is on the east coast and I am in Vegas so I can not look at it before hand to see if it will mount easily also as far as suspension I already have Eibach lowering spring all the way around with kyb Shocks so I will take off the ss spring and shocks the rear end and then I will have all the same handleing suspension again . The SS axle only has 13000 miles on it . So does anybody know for a fact that the axle will bolt on to the body ???

Yes I did look at your post also have asked someone who has done it and he replyed last night and he says it will bolt on and that the only other changes needed are brake line and emergency brake cable and the rear end I am getting comes with the brake lines so I will have to get is the emergency cable . So it looks like I will do it I will let you all know how it shakes out . Thx Again for all your input Mel

On the older cars there was a resiual check valve on the side with out discs to keep the seal in the wheel cyl, sealed. if the valve was left in place with discs it would keep the brakes applied a small amount. Not sure if this is done anymore.
