Chewed my diff in my ke30 recently and was wondering if I sourced a ke70 diff centre(presuming it is also a U series BW), aswell as axles from a ke70, would the centre fit my housing? And ifso if I shortened the ke70 axles would this be all thats needed to fit the housing or are they larger in diameter aswell as length? Or have the axles got the same amount of splines thus just using the ke30's axles?

 

Reasoning behind this is round here(perth) ke70 parts/wrecks are much more abundant than ke30-55s, and at the moment I just need the corolla on the road asap as I have another f@$ked car sitting on my grass which I can't put in for panelbeating until the rollas fixed(eventually putting in a whole ta22 diff or something similar not needing shortening just waiting for something to pop up)

 

Any advice/corrections much appreciated

Cheers.

Early KE30s with the Jap diff definately had skinnier axles. If you've got a B/W diff the axles may be the same diameter, not sure about the centres.
