15. What's the difference between a 3 channel and 4 channel rear?

A three channel rear end has ABS. A 4 channel rear end has ABS and traction control. A 'channel' is just a way of describing the means for a speed sensor to gauge the wheel speed. On a 3 channel rear end, the two front wheels have sensors, and there is one sensor on top of the rear end housing that reads for the whole rear. On a 4 channel rear end, there is a speed sensor at every wheel. 4 channel rear ends have reluctor wheels on each axle, 3 channel rears have one big reluctor ring on the differential. Because a 4 channel has a sensor at each rear wheel it can see the difference in speed between one wheel and the other, and ta-da, you have traction control.

16. Will a 3 channel rear end work in my 4 channel car?

Yes, you can make it work, if you put the axles from your four channel car into the 3 channel rear end and install the sensors into the backing plate. To put a 4 series into a 3 series would be more difficult, because it would require you to drill in the top of the rear housing for the sensor, and add a reluctor ring to the carrier as well.

basically, if you have an asr/traction control button, you have a 4 channel rear.

You need a new driveshaft with the S60. PM me if you want the company I bought mine from. I got a good deal and great customer service.

Your looking at $2k+ any way you cut it.

im certain i mentioned in at least one post that you can't.... but even if you could, why would you want to? the point of the stronger rear is for more reliable results when you abuse the car..........


and since the driveshaft and rear will be out of the car anyway, and your spending 2k plus anyway, spend another 100 bucks on a driveshaft loop
