IndyJimW Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Well at 93,000 miles the limited slip differential is going out on my '87. It's a 10 bolt 7 1/2" with an Auburn diff. that isn't rebuildable. For about $800.00 more than rebuilding the axle I can get a new 9" Ford or 12 bolt unit from Moser that will bolt right up. I can order it with the disc brakes already mounted. Looks like I have my Winter project planned. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBCA96 Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 Finally a new post!!! There ARE others out there! Sometimes I feel like I am all alone on this forum, searching for signs of life..... Sounds like you have a plan, thats good. I dont know whats available, but it seems like your options would be quite vast compared to the Studebaker chassised Avantis. I agree, why rebuild it when you can so easily upgrade!! You know ... the Monza inspired axle in my 1993 Camaro Z28 is a limited slip and with 230,000 miles - still works! Thats quite impressive when you consider that the fluid has been changed ONCE in those miles (at 39,000), and its got the high torque of that LT1 infront of it, my lead foot, & the overall agreement that the 4th gen Camaro axles are junk.

They will build a rear end any way you what. They keep G-body housings in stock in both the 9" and 12 Bolt so its available next day and is a bolt-in.

GAWen Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 I am looking for a TT rear end for my 1971 Avanti II. Prefer a 3:31 gear ratio. Does anyone know where I can find one. George Wendell, Las Vegas, Nv. Avanti RQB 1600 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
