Is the rear axle in your car the factory one? They came with a 7.5" until 1986

Yes it had a 7.5 but I bought a 8.8 to install, I ordered five lug axles and when I put them in the housing they were too short, long story short the rear end I bought was out of a sn95( wider axle housing)

Problem solved, I traded a guy for The correct rear housing

Only the 99-04 housing is wider. All 86-98 housings are the same other than the disk brakes added in 1994

Edited to correct date

when they added those disc brakes to those buggies in 1894 it tripled the stopping power!
