I need to figure out what axle is under my Astre. Where on the axle should I find the identification #??? or is there an easier way to figure it out.

Thanx

Paul

The easiest way and most accurate
is to
remove the cover and count the
number of tooth on
both gears
then divide the larger number by the
smaller
number this will give you the real gear
ratio

you could also try to find the stamped code
on
the paasenger side axle tube but most of the

time they are rusted out
Someone might also
have changed the gears
before yo7u got the
car....
