I'm seeking a good reference page for 140-240 rear axles, to swap into a '74 145.

Rather than fix the rear wheel bearings and then possibly have to still listen to a howling differential, I though it'd might be less effort to swap the whole axle, since it's time to replace the torque arm bushings anyhow.

I expect an auto diff would be like a 3.54, and a turbo diff to 3.73 or 4.11. PRV's are probably 3.73. Maybe allowances for wagons.

There apparently was a significant change from 79-80. Anybody got links to diagrams or pics?

Car-part.com is good for this stuff.
