Dukhaykh Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 Hello, My Edge AWD, I took off the drive shaft to make it runs as a FWD. I am wondering now if it’s possible to remove the rear differential & axles without issues?! If it’s possible, are there any possible effects on car stability & traction etc; Thanks in advance ☺️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 anything is possible given time and willpower. at the very least would have to change the axles and hub/wheel bearing assemblies to make it pseudo FWD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dukhaykh Posted October 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2021 Your right, Update; I did remove the rear did and its axels. After that I balanced both my rear tires. Now everything is okay ?? attached how the car looks like without dif and axles ? Next project will be removing the PTU.?

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted October 1, 2021 Report Share Posted October 1, 2021 looks kinda empty there lol it will be easier to remove the PTU if you change the transmission to one meant for a FWD. but you would have to update the calibration of the PCM to account for this. another option is to do what a Fusion guy did on YT to remove the PTU. dont know how that works out in the long run.

hardbutfair Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 Did it still have park when you removed the driveshaft? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand "Park" is set by moving a small lever (known as a "pawl") into the gear train, which is located inside the transmission. It basically throws a cog into the gears. Has nothing to do with the driveshaft or rear axle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
