Hey everyone, over from the LT1 board.. Im going to be helping my buddy with a '99 A4 TA w/ 2.73's swap in a rear disk to disk from another LS1 M6 w/ 3.42's. I imagine its a direct bolt up swap. Anything to watch for or any tips? Both rears have ABS & traction control.

TIA
Craig

 

It's a very easy and straight forward process. You don't even have to open the braking system. Hang the calipers, open the clips, unhook the e-brake lines, and unbolt the little keeper on top of the axle. Use good jack stands and don't let the axle fall off of the jack onto you

 

He said he thought he had to get an alinement after words. That true? I didnt know you could get an alinement on the rear??

 

I swapped a M6 rear into my car - no alignment was necessary.
