Hi Dave,

I am making a few RX-7 contacts. Can you measure the distance between the carrier bearings and the carrier bearing i.d. on the front and rear Sportage diffs?

Do you remember the axle spline dimensions for front and rear?

I think the front was 26 splines x ???dia and the rear is 26 or 28 splines x 1.07"

So far, I have found out that one version of the RX7 is 26 splines by 27mm (~1.063"). That might match old sportage rear axles.
