Axle nightmare
Bigboystoys - 12/4/11 at 09:15 AM

People help me out my brain is a mess from all this axle hunting. I need a 52"-54" axle to replace my koln unit. I understand I can use either a atlas or English but not an escort one as these are only 48" inboard drum backplate to inboard drum backplate. Also I understand a sailsbury is just the type of diff fitted to an English axle Is this correct? Help please I only want to stop my car screaming on the motorway

Capri or Cortina axles should be wider or go DeDion sierra

Ford Capri 2.0 Rear Axle | eBay UK

there you go, 2 minutes on ebay, and its just along the road from you. don't know what diff it has, being a 2 litre car, should be around a 3.44

there's also a 3.09, a 3.44, and a 3.75 ratio crownwhel and pinion for sale if you don't get one you want in that axle, you can swap, and selll the gears for whatever you pay for the new set
