I was wondering if somebody could shed some light on a mixture of answers i keep getting!
Will an L reg granada 2.0 axle beam fit a Cozzy 2wd with 7 1/2 inch Diff?
I only ask as i am breaking one and also need a beam for my 2wd Cosworth.
Are the wishbones the same?
Many thanks for your help

 

ive had this conversation with someone before
he said the cradle is the same but the wishbones will set the wheels too far out

 

the beam will be the same, the wishbones won't as they won't have the correct bearings in them or have the arb brackets

 

Am sure that the beam is different where the diff mounts to it,although you can modifiy the beam to allow the diff to fit.involves a hammer though! The wishbones are totaly different.

 

Thanks for your replies.As i am breaking the car i will remove it anyway and check it out.
I will post back when it is off,to answer the question conclusively.
Cheers guys from your answers it is worth taking it off.

 

The Granada beams and sierra beams for the dohc engines all used the 7.5 inch diff with the 3.92:1 ratio so should all fit without an issue, but ford are notorious for swapping bits over at whim so this my not be the case for evry single car, but it's been the case for evey single car I've stripped/worked on and that's plenty

 

Is the sierra 2.0 DOHC 8v back axle same as a cosworth apart from the diff and can you fit the cossy diff later on
