yeah, basically i need to know. are the ae86 and ae71 axles both the same? I think the ae86's have 's series' or something, and i had the understanding that ae71's are the same.
however, i have also been told that the ae71's have something called a borg warner diff. And when further explained, it doesnt sound like the ae86 ones.
Im asking cause im trying to find a spare diff centre for my corolla.

Aus built AE71 are different to AE86. But I think not all AE71 are Aus built, maybe the vans and wagons also have an S diff?

Are you looking for a spare diff for your AE86 or AE71? If you're looking for an AE71 sedan diff centre you can definately use a diff centre from KE70 and AE71 sedans at least.
I wonder if KE55 has a BW diff, and if so whether it's also interchangable?

so you guys are saying that the ke70/ae71 diffs are the same as the ae86's?
i guess it shouldnt matter that much in finding either one. So yea i should be able to find a ae71 diff...
when you say a leaf diff... does that mean its not detachable from the rear axle? I think thats what i was told the ae71's had

No the diffs are different. The 86 has an S-series... ke70/ae71 have a Borg Warner. However, you can swap the entire axle out of either as they have identical mounting points.

ok thanks eddie, just one more question... can the centre diffs for the borg warner be removed out of the ae71
ie. to weld up the diff
if they are not removeable... i dont suppose there is anyway of locking the diff is there?
or would i just have to get a 's' series axle and get the centre of that welded up?
thanks mate

yes they are easily removed and welded.
you seem a little confused about the interchangability. the centres from ae86 and ae71/ke70 can not be interchanged. if you want a borg warner in your sprinter, or an S-series in your corolla you need to change the entire diff housing over. but you can ofcourse swap the centres between the ae71 and ke70 as they both have the borg warner diff.

ok thanks mate, what i ment in my last post was would i have to get a 's' series axle so i can have a removable diff (At this point thinking the borg warner diff was not removable therefore unusable to weld up).
i knew that if the ae71 and ae86 had different axle types their diffs would not be interchangeable
however, now understanding that the borg warner diff can be removed. id say ill just get the warner diff welded.
And maybe eventually get a 's' series axle... or a 'T' series axle as i have heard these are also fittable into the ae71/ae86 because the mounting points are the same
thanks for all the info
