Default new axle??? urgent help needed
on friday night i went to turn corner bought 20mph and i lost the front end on ice and i regained control of the front and manged to turn then back skidded into kerb really hard, i got no body damage just bent my rear axle or torsion bar so back wheels are lyk \\ | | and the wheel is scrubbing on the boot side!!

i was wondering if a 1.4 mk1 axle would fit a 1.1 mk2?? and how easy would it to do my self as theres a 1.4sx in scrappys by me would any special tools be needed??? only reason i cant take it into garage is that i only have £270 which i doubt will get me far

is it possible or think i should save for a garage??

rep given to everybody

I think all axles will fit... maybe not very easily if your chassis is bent

I think there are only a few varieties so for a straight forward swap just match...

- Drums 3 stud
- Drums 4 stud
- Disks 4 stud
- Disks 4 stud with abs

Think that’s it... someone correct me if I'm wrong though

Then there’s just 4 bolts (2 in the under boot carpet and 2 under back seats), 2 brake hoses and the handbrake cable holding the whole assembly on! Just have to take the exhaust off (cat back) and the spare wheel off! And it should be a simple swap!

Only special tools you will need are a deep 18mm socket (most socket sets skip 18mm ), a brake hose spanner and a piece of clear pipe to bleed the brakes.

o right sorry bud but the way it says it give me the impression your doing a engine conversion. Back to the point, i did my rear axle for £200 with brand new brakes on it me n 2 mates fitted it (as it is quite heavy) 4 bolts and the whole thing drops mate really easy to do but as said before just make sure u have a brake hose spanner.
