HICAS woes...

[kawika219]

well i have searched, and i need some things cleared up...i am almost done with an SR swap, and i COMPLETELY took out hicas (swapped out rear end, pulled lines, pulled put abs)...my question is do i need to swap driveshafts??? im thinking you do because its now a non-abs rear end, but im not sure...can someone clarify this??? Also, do i need to change the front PS lines, i have heard they are bigger, but i can run a reducer, some one clarify please...thanks in advance

you should need a new driveshaft but you're probably better off if you swap your old diff back in . the HICAS models come with a VLSD and the one you got is probably open, unless you plan on upgrading to a nicer LSD in the future, since you could sell your VLSD. the ABS equipment won't cause any problems, just disconnect the sensor and leave it.

no idea on the PS lines. you can probably get a standard one from a junkyard for pretty cheap and be done with it.

if you kept the full pumpkin with the longer nose than the non-ABS diff, you don't need a new driveshaft. the diff and the driveshaft go together, that's it. you may need to leave the sensor in there, not sure if it keeps the fluid in the diff or not.
