I just have a few Questions. I see you have a four lug rear end and 4 bolt. The Eclipse has 5 lug are you running a Galant rear end? I was woundering I'm going to be doing the swap soon. Any help would be great.

Everything i'm using is out of a 92 AWD laser... The 4 bolt rear diff/trans/tcase. sub frame.


I did buy galant vr4 rear 4lug hubs so i could keep it 4 lug. And they werent tooo easy to find.

Very impressive! I am a big researcher and have collected virtually all the info. on this subject. I am appreciative to all. Anyway, I still haven't started on the actual conversion. I am still rebuilding the Colt/Mirage (it's half anf half). I found out that the control arm balljoint is an integral part of the control arm. However, the small dust/grease balljoint cover is replaceable, but there is a special tool for a replacement. (It looks like a 2.5" sleve to go over the cover and drive the edge, which has a steel belted core, into the control arm.

Bill, the balljoints are replaceable, they have to be pressed in to the control arm:

You can also rent the balljoint press from them as well.

4wd truck balljoint C-clamp kit got me through this and brake piston repairs, and for the measly price of $29.95 plus tax from you equivalent to Harbour Freight. It is the best money you will spend on a cheap tool, and will allow you to press more than ball joints. Great multi-purpose tool for the money!

So, any updates on this AWD swap Red Sleeper??

If you will use it more than twice, it is worth it since you have to pay $100 deposit+tax on the autozone tool and you don't get your tax back at return.
