The axles are actually exatcly the same diamter as all vl turbo and vl v8 axles only slightly longer.

I wasn't having a go at you, just letting you in on some info. I won't bother in the future.

Interesting [T]Matty. I don't think this would suit everyone, given people have difficulty avoiding the guards with the narrower VL diffs. Can you get us a photo of your car from behind now, to see how fat it looks? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

vn onwards v6 and v8 axles are the same (including vlt vl v8) so whatever axle he showed you wasnt from the same diff. all the cost and stuffing around with getting rim offsets changed your far better off with a vl diff. youll have nothing but problems with that diff wagon/ute diffs are different to sedan (shock mount being different) sayign that you can still use it, your shock will just be about 1.5" more extended than with the sedan diff due to the lower mount point of the wagon/ute shock mount
