At some point in time my rear axle was replaced (under warranty)on my car. My car is a 2004. Could it be possible that the dealer replaced it with a 2006-2007 axle? Is there a way I can check to be certain it's a 2004-05 or 2006-07axle? I need to find out before I order the G-force axle.

Here are the four differentials that are known to exist in order of earliest to latest:

10361308
12378261
15793756
25873498


I got one replaced in June, 2007, and it's the third one down. She whines, but has withstood a few maggie-assisted clutch dumps.

If you can pinpoint the date yours was replaced or possibly run some history on your car, maybe you can find out more.


EDIT: BTW, there're a couple of the first (earliest) ones on eBay right now. Even new, I don't know why anyone would want one regardless of the price.

Are we talking axles or rear differentials? I am confused. :hmm:

This was actually a concern of mine as well awhile ago. About a year ago Lindsay replaced my 2005 diff with an 07. Wanting to change out an axle with HE/GEFORCE axles, and I was worried about possibly having the new, thicker, 06/07 OEM axles on my car along with the diff. According to Luke, unless something was directly wrong with your axles, they would not have been replaced with a diff swap. So basically, just check your service history for axle repair. Hope this helps.

Just measure the passenger axle, if it is about 1.25" in diamter then it is an 04-05 axle. If it is about 1.5" in diameter then it is an 06-07 axle.
So another words, if they are both small then they are still stock, if one is big then they put a newer one in.

Thanks
