Just because the splines are the same doesn't mean the axles will fit. There's quite a bit to consider.

Axle diameter, Spline, length.
Bearings shouldn't matter because he's swapping the WHOLE ford 3rd member into the Mitsubishi housing.

Does the ford 3rd member put the center into the centerline of the axletubes?

Is the bolt pattern around the edge the same? Sealing surface around the edge?

Does it even fit in there at all?


I'm only considering the differential carrier not the whole thrid member for my aplication. Both Ford and Mitsu with 31 spline should have the same dimetral pitch. I wish there was more 94+ monteros in the wreckers so I could try <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

Yes it is a pipe dream to find a cheap rear locker <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />
