Title: Rear Axle Weight
Post by: Vit-A-Jim on August 20, 2007, 01:10:46 AM

Hi to all,

Does anyone know the weight of a complete (stock) rear axle of a Sidekick 1.6 ?

Thanks in advance

Or even some of the parts that are included, like rear breaks, axle housing.

Not much at all, the housing is only 11 gauge steel tubing, I can pick one up with one finger LOL, the backing plates are not that much either, ok just went out and weighed one for ya with the plates and brake lines parking cable and a heavy diff guard(sorry) was 50 lbs.

Thanks a lot mrfuelish!!!

I'm just into calculating sprung and unsprung weights in order to make the ride more comfortable.

I'll let you know, if I come up to something...
