rear axle difference
is there a difference between the rear axles on a turbo legacy vs non turbo legacy?

Re: rear axle difference
91 turbo has different axles because of the locking diff. I believe all others are the same from 89-94.

Re: rear axle difference
On a 1st gen, if there is any difference (which I don't know the answer to), they are completely interchangeable. I've always grabbed junkyard NA 1st gen axles.
Rallyak: The 91-only VLSD has different axle stubs (they are un-equal length) from any other 1st gen, but the same axles bolt to it.

Re: rear axle difference
I knew 91 was special in the VLSD I though it was the axles, didn’t think about the stubs.

Re: rear axle difference
If you ever find a 1991 vlsd without axle stubs, it is completely open and those stubs are unobtanium at this point.
Theory: The JDM unequal length rear axles may work in a 1991 VLSD that is missing stubs. But those would be very difficult to find here as well. And you might as well run a JDM plated LSD diff by that point.

Re: rear axle difference
Any 1st gen rear axles will work. As long as your 1991 SS VLSD diff still has it's original stubs.
