Quick 3S-GE driveshaft question

[MR22ZZ]

Are ST-162 and SW-20 3S-GE driveshafts the same?

I'm assuming they use the same gearbox in both cars but are the lengths and thicknesses the same between the 2 models?

[MR22ZZ]

surely someone with a toyota parts list could answer this by looking up the respective part numbers of the 2... anybody?

[Dale]

Part numbers in the EPC are different... they don't even look similar in the diagrams, the LH side one looks similar, but the RH side one looks nothing like a celica item

cheers, that's all I wanted to know.

I need SW20 drive shafts for the 2ZZ conversion and have found some cheap ST162 3S-GE one's and wondering if they were the same... oh well.

[Dale]

Does it need the lsd shafts (equal length)?

[Cruiser97_80]

Just be careful with sw20 shafts, i think there are different variations depending on model year and lsd or no lsd etc.

[HAVABEER]

i think the sv-21 camry drive shafts are interchangeable with a 162.

not 100% on that though

Yeah, thanks, I'll double check the dates of the ones I need.

i have a spare set of axles/driveshafts for a gen III bathurst SW20 if you want, BUT! you will probably need to rebuild the CV joints in them as theyre kind of buggered..

Craig - there's actually a better one where someone has done the exact conversion I'm looking at into an AW11. http://www.mr2board.com/forums/engin...swap-info.html and yes, I've known about it for some time

Hamgatan - finding a set over here at a wreckers is still preferable, but I'll keep that in mind.
