#1: ABS Drum Axle to Non ABS Drum Axle? Author: GlennMRX, Posted: Wed May 21, 2014 4:42 am ---- Hi guys, I went and bought a complete car with a great axle to salvage for my XS, only problem is the car I bought is a non ABS model and my XS has ABS... the guy I had to fit the axle has now turned round and said it isnt possible and I will need an ABS axle? But I dont have time or money to go and buy another axle.
So is it possible to exhange the parts between the axles?
Thanks in advance
Glenn.

Probably takes longer to do all that than it does to change the axle. Not sure if the stub axle is the same size though. That's something you would need to research on servicebox
I've heard of a garage replacing an axle and taking the discs off to convert to drum brakes although the customer wanted the discs leaving on. Took them over twice as long to do the job

I think the guy is reluctant to do the job now...
Thanks again!
