What axles in an 85 GS
I have read about large and small axles in the 1st gen cars. I have an 1985 GS, Which axles do I have and does anyone know the part #for the bearings and seals? Thanks alot

I'm 99% sure that 85's have the large axles. If you wanted to really be sure you can look at the flange on the rear end, where the driveshaft bolts up. If the holes are threaded you have small axles. If they are not threaded then you have large axles. This is an easy check, in case someone has swapped out the rear end on your car for some reason.
As far as the parts are concerned, go to Autozone and tell them you need a rear wheel seal. Part #710320, should be $6 a piece. If you want to do the bearings too, then you also need to ask for two rear wheel bearings, part #511017, $78 each.
Good luck!

If you have the original rear end you have large axles. I don't know the part numbers for the seals and wheel bearings, but you can get them from VB (Black Dragon) or I expect most part stores.
The wheel bearings have to be pressed on. Any machine shop should be able to do this for you.
