Recognise this axle?

Thanks. Do you know if the Quattro gearbox that these axles come from reverse the engine rotation? They come from Audi 100, Audi 200, also Audi S2 has similar.

I planned to use these for a 4x4 buggy, but they turn the wrong way when connected to a traditional 4x4 drivetrain (i.e. rear wheel drive gearbox mated to transferbox). Bit stuffed for what to do now. These axles are supposed to be very strong and they have simple lockers built in so they are good to use. I might have to ditch them or see about fitting additional custom mini gearbox to reverse direction.

same as whats in my s4dont think they reveres the rotation at all. never checked though. you could turn the diff over though.

you could turn the diff over though.

That's what most people do, they just flip the diffs over. I could do it but I'd need to raise the engine by 100mm as the sump will no longer tuck around the diff so it's no ideal but it is a solution. Plus oil and design issues of the diff running upside down.

I looked at switching to a mid engine design but that requires shorter drivetrain to fit into half the car's wheelbase.
