Perhaps the R3V gurus can help. Tried this on BF... looking for a definitive answer:
Hey guys,
Question - I know that driveshafts are different in E30s, but what about the half shafts coming off the differential? Are they all the same?
One of my local boneyards has an 88 325i automatic sitting around (it does have ABS), and I'm tempted to get the half-shafts out of it - they want $75 each (remember, in Canada, not the USA, and they pull - the yard doesn't allow jacking). I'm thinking these could make some nice spares.
I compared with a serial from a guy on BF (89 325i) and got:
01 Rmfd. output shaft 2 33211226900 ENDED
01 Rmfd-output shaft ABS 2 33211226901 $610.38
This is the part numbers when I put my serial in.
01 Rmfd. output shaft 2 33211226333 $602.60
01 Rmfd-output shaft ABS 2 33211225893 $610.38
So, what is the difference??? The only other difference in the part list is the bellows replacement kits. Different numbers there, otherwise rest of the hardware matches.
And what is the difference between ABS and non ABS output shafts?
Is there any reason why these wouldn't work in my 86 325 (eta)?
