Default AU Diff Info

Hi guys

Just wondering if a AU S1 Wagon (Auto i6) diff is a straight swap into an AU S1 Ute (Auto i6)?

Thanks in advance

if its just a standerd ratio diff, single pegger 3.08, series 1, 2, 3, they are all the same, except for the irs diffs which are in the sedans, but i dont think the utes or wagons come with irs,

IRS is VCT/Tickford Suspension/Ghia/Lane/XR8 only. Live axle sedan diffs are different again. Ute/Wagon diffs run Leaf springs, and are interchangable.

Matt, he's not asking about diff ratios. Plus you have everything about diff ratios wrong, other then Forte's having 3.08 s/s.
