Dropping The Rear End

Is there a write up somewhere on dropping the rear end of a '94? Is the setup the same on all 94-97's?

Thanks.

It's easy. Put car in the air on jack stands (unless you have a lift). place jack under pumpkin. Remove wheels (optional) Unbolt torque arm, driveshaft, lca's, shocks,panhard bar, brake line and abs connector on pumpkin. Roll it out.

Just got done dropping my old rear to bolt in a junkyard unit. If you have any specific questions or problems while working on this, PM me, its all still fresh in my mind.

Click on the mods list in my signature. When the page comes up, look on the left side and there's a link to "Technical Articles". Go to that page and theres a very detailed writeup on swapping the rearend. In my case I replaced it with a Strange 12-bolt, but the process is really no different than using a stock unit.
