i have a 95 z28 and the gear every thing in the diff is going out. so i was wondering if i could swap out a newer diff from a 2000ish camaro with no problems. is it possible

 

How do you know everything in the differential is going out? Need some more information.

The rear ends physically are the same in all 4th generation cars, 93-02; but you need to be aware there are different gear ratios, as well as TCS/ABS changes. If you find one that matches your ABS and gear ratios it will bolt right in.

 

i know every thing is going out because i pulled the cover off and i saw a lot of metal on magnet plus the wear from the grinding. there is also the noise that it makes which is a knocking sound while turning slow

 

Then the 2nd paragraph that I wrote is what you need to look for, everything else matches.

You should be able to find a used rear axle assembly for like $150 complete; if that.

Just be sure the ABS/TCS are the same, and you know the gear ratios so they are either the same or you can reprogram your computer for the new ratio.

 

holy chit where are u finding used axles for 150 heck the guy i know at my junk yard want 200 and mine has mad play in the axle shafts and i hear it clunk a lil when im doing bout 30 and i let of and then gently give it gas it clunks and u can feel it

 

Classifieds, craigslist, etc. People part out cars all the time, and with the stock rearends being basically useless for anything making serious HP they weren't ever hard to find whenever I was looking. Hell, I sold mine for $150 I think when I put my Strange 12 bolt in, that's about all it was worth, even with 3.42s and 60K miles.

 

i am running the stock 3.23 ratio i think and i want to put 3.73 or 4.11 in it and i was looking into a 9inch or a 12 bolt from moser but i just dont have the money right now
