what gear ratio

[Sasquatch_Ryda]

rockauto.com shows the ujoints being a d-35 or a mazda 7.5 for the axle's, maybe im wrong, at least ill learn from this one

I won't have u joints in the front axles, its got CV shafts.

but is that where i find out my gearing?

 

[90rangersuper]

duh, you said that before with the independent front suspension, hey man, out of ideas here

 

[BlackBII]

I believe the Mazda's of those years use a Toyota similar rear axle...

On your Rear axle, are there bolts on the back? Or is it smooth, like where you would pull the carrier out of the front of the axle, rather than a cover plate on the back?

 

[Boggin]

the bolts are on the front

 

[BlackBII]

Ok, then yes it's similar to the Yota axles..

looking around, Im seeing a lot of references to a 4.30 or so ratio...

Does the front diff have a tag? It'll have the same ratio...


Edit:

Just found this:B2600, 7.5 in or so, 4.10 or 3.70 ratio

 

[BlackBII]

Does it look like this?

 

[Boggin]

uhhhhhh no..hold on, ill see if i can get a pic with my webcam
cause i dont have the charger for my camera

 

[90rangersuper]

looking around on the net i will agree with the 4.10 ratio

 

[Boggin]

 

[90rangersuper]

i cant see anything in those pictures man

 

[Boggin]

yea, the 2nd last pic is the best, even thaty one isnt very good

 

[BlackBII]

Yeah, that looks bigger, rounder than the pic I provided... Which was a Yota axle...

 

[Boggin]

so ya's think i got 4.10 and D35?

 

[90rangersuper]

i will say 4.10, unsure on the d35 though
