Frank do you know anything about the challenger axles?

I found a wrecked challenger that has the 3.5, 4.9 gears, and the locker here in the states.

I was wondering if it is similar width to the 3.5 rear end that comes behind the fullsize pajero.

I guess it is the same housing so I could allways get them to ship me just the rear 3rd member and then find a housing out of a wrecked 3.5 to put it into.

I have my arb for the front sitting at home in a box, and automon from the wire is selling me his front housing. I want to get the rear locked while I am at it....

Hmmm interesting one that I would have thought the Challenger had a narrower rear track but checking some figures it lists 1480mm as the track width for a Challenger and Gen 2 Paj.
I think you would probably be safe with bolting in the whole thing as long as everything lines up (trailing arm bolt holes, brackets, brakes etc).
Besides from that the Challenger rear diff centre should bolt into a 3.5 SR axle housing but I'd be checking CAPS programmes first as some models have the 9" centre but run the 3.5 ratio's (4.636 & 4.90).

Awesome, thats exactly what I wanted to hear. I could allways go the arb route but I can get this axle cheaper and with less effort too.

I might buy it just to sit on. A sturdy axle like that with 4.90 gears and an air locker would go well with any project.
