1.8 axles and driveshaft NEED
#9
Thanks!! Car only has 60k miles, and my OCD/inner ricer got the best of me on some of my suspension parts, lol. Had em sandblasted and some paint made from the color code and painted them up. Also did the same to the rear subframe. No one will probably ever see it, but that is the ocd in me kicking in.

If you decide to take the axle stubs off either to check if it's a torsen, or to swap in single piece axels, here's the super simple trick to popping them out: wedge in a pry bar & pry without a ton of force, but bop the stub with a dead blow hammer opposite of where you're prying. The prying force tends to kink the stub over slightly and make it bind.
You know it's a torsen if you can see daylight through it with the stubs removed.
