so, i was doing some brainstorming yesterday about my axle issue. here is the problem for those who dont know.


my car's wheel hubs have a 26 spline count. the trans is a g series trans which all have a 28 spline count. so obviously the mx-3 axles wont fit in my wheel hubs. by the way, the mx-3 gs is a 1.8l v6. they are the shortest v6 axles to use that will still work. the probe, mx-6, and 626 are way too long.

the newer proteges have this 28 spline count that i need. so my plan was to swap hubs, struts, lower control arms, everything over to my car from a 90-94 pro. this might take a little modification but the two generations arent hugely different.

after a little bit more researching, i was told that even with the hub swap, the axles will still be TOO LONG. the wheelbase of my car is a little shorter apparently. yet another headache.

so now, im going to attempt a custom made shorter mx-3 axle. i have a friend with access to a very strong gas welder. im going to see if he can cut and weld them back together. i have taken balance of the axle in to account and will trying to test that as well. its worth a shot right?

stay tuned!
