The 4th gen Rear

I know ive been asking this alot.
I have been reading that article on TGO alot, but Im afraid.

I really want to try it myself, but I want to be confident.

Can someone give me a list of everything I need from the donor car, to transfer into my car? And thing I need to look for too.

Just take it out yourself and make sure you have everything thats attached to it, thats what I did. You will also need new e-brake cables and a new proportioning valve if you are going from drum to discs.

you only need the complete rear end with brake assembly and proportion valve/e-brake cables(like formula said)

Many 3rd gen parts will swap right onto the 4th gen rear.
driveshaft will fit,
torque arm will fit,
lower control arms will fit,
panhard bar will fit,
swaybar will fit,
springs and shocks will fit as well.

I'm just not sure about wheels, with the 3rd gen offsets and 4th gen not having any, check into that.
you just wont need the ABS sensors from the 4th gen for the 3rd gen.

the 4th gen rear is just 2" wider on each side(total of 4")

Will a rear end from a tesla fit in place of a third gen rear in a 5th gen?
