Hi Guys..

Am i being a doughnut here.

I am getting ready to do the rear end swap in my car and have bought an escos back end with all the shafts/diff etc

however its in pretty poor condition and i dont want to do anything i dont have to.

so i start thinking about it and remember that all escorts were were shortened sierra 4x4s so surely that means the rear ends are the same.

obviously the diffs are different and because the 4x4 diff is bigger surely the shafts in a 4x4 are shorter which i have.

am i to assume that whoever done the RWD conversion wouldnt have bothered changing the back end and would have just changed diffs and shafts etc as they will bolt straight in.

due to the messing around and condition of current beam i am really hoping the beam in the car is 4x4 as its in much better condition.

so is there any way to tell? and am i right with my knowledge?

Regards

Rob
