hi guys; for some reazon i ended up loosing my front, driver side drive shaft off my 92 gsx and was wondering if the turbo fwd version fits in there?
i`ve been looking all over the place but have not had any luck finding a gsx in any junkyard, however i`ve found a few turbo gs`s, but dont know for sure if i can just buy the drive shaft and install it on my car
thanks

1st, it's an axle, not a driveshaft. 2nd, you can use a fwd axle. 3rd, it sucks and you'll see why many fwd guys switch to an awd driver front......the half shaft cuts down on torque steer since the front axels are then closer to the same length.

also you can get the driver front for an awd at Napa for like $50-60. i hope you didn't lose the half shaft (the straight axle with the bearing that bolts to the back of the block...b/c you won't find that.

The FWD drivers side front axle will not fit over the transfer case, so you have to use the AWD axle. Try MitsubishiGraveyard.com or MSrecycling.com

yet another reason everyone should have a welded center diff or a spool. drop it and go. keeps you going on event day when you've used your spare xfer case.
