1988 325 vs 325iS Axle Differences...

I think the early 325's came without ABS. It doesnt seem likely but could that had resulted in a different axle ?

[MR 325]

something is off, or they are offering two different quality grades. all rear six-cylinder axles are the same

[dougie30]

so are you saying there is a difference between early and late model axles?

Just an FYI for the community, there are differences between the eta and iS packages in regards to axles.

I don't know if this explains strength issues on remanufactured axles or if that is due to polishing away the oem hardened races during the remanufacturing process.
