It depends which particular diff you have. I have a 3.64 lsd which has bolt on shafts. Im sure twin turbo will know more

This is almost 100% the case.

Rear Disk cars have bolt on lorobo shafts.
Rear Drum Cars have Push in tripode shafts.

Lorobo's can be on LSD or Open Diffs.
Push in Tripode Drums on Open Diffs.


Some Very rare cases of drums on bolt on shafts

6.5" Very Rare only push in
7" Either
7.5" Bolt on only and LSD unless a Bug Eye Scorpio which is 7.5" open.


TT

Hi, thanks for the help, do you think it would be better to try and find an assembly of diff /drive shaft and drums that were all on the same car or would it be ok getting diff and drive shaft and then hubs all seperatley

thanks

Its fine as long as you mach the shafts with the diff.
saying that though its probably much easier getting it all as a set.

I have seen some drive shafts that look like they bolt on and some that must push in, and i have seen a diff but it is none lobro i am not sure what that means. should i try and get a 3.6 ratio or 3.9.
sorry to keep going on about this
thanks for everyones help
