If my '99 is any indication, it looks like all sportage [color:"blue"]FRONT [/color] axles are 26 spline while the [color:"blue"]REAR [/color]changed from 26 to 28 splines in '97.

BTW, I may have a Torsen LSD in the front of my Sportage in a few weeks if things work out. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
