E36 m3 axles with e36 ti trailing arms?

[WheelE30]

Hey guys in the middle of my swap and wondering if I can run e30 axles or e36 m3 axles with the ti trailing arms I have Or do I need ti axles thanks?!

You can run the stock E30 axles but you will need to remove or space out the ABS sensor.

The E30 axles are definitely an upgrade over the tiny 318ti axles.

r3v needs a "like" button so I can like Matt's answer to indorse it.

[MR 325]

Haha!

[quakerE30]

if 318Ti bearings and hubs fit inside the stock e30 trailing arms, would the e36 m3 axles also fit?

[samiam3356]

I doubt the diameter of the m3 axles is any where near the ti axles. It has been said the TI bearings are not as robust as the e30 ones so this would lead me to believe....NO!

I heard this guy knows his shit

Asked this same question and had a set of e36 m3 axles laying around. they do not fit not only are the cv to big to fit in the hub, but the stub shaft is big diameter and higher spline count. How ever i do beleive that e36 non m3 axles will fit.

Can an e36 m3 hub be installed into a e36 318ti TA? would that allow e36 m3 rear brake install?

[MR 325]

No sir.

[McGyver]

well then would regular e36 hubs fit in the ti TA? this would allow for a thicker axle and (i assume) larger rear brakes than the ti stuff.

Thanks Matt.
