Monte Carlo and vr4

[kyle-reece]

hey guys the searched the forums as best I can but I can't find anything.

I own a Monte Carlo and I'm wondering how interchangeable parts are with the normal vr4. I need a whole left front hub assembly, lower control arm and complete axle. Are all these parts the same or different for the vr4 models?

Kerbage!

i cant imagine they would be different

 

[kyle-reece]

Yup kerbage car has been out of action for awhile as I'm struggling for parts.

 

[Cranked]

Yeah i really can't see that they would be any different either.

 

[kyle-reece]

Cheers guys. I'd just have to make sure the hub is from an abs model right?

 

[LumpyVR4]

Yup. It will have the ring on the back of it. As far as I know the Monte Carlo was a basically a special trim pack to celebrate the VR4s success there.

 

[evo-gsr]

Yeah all the mechanical parts will be interchangeable....will only be cosmetic differences between the two.

 

[kyle-reece]

Are there any differences between evo and vr4 axles?

 

[evo-gsr]

I am pretty sure there is...especially the rears.

 

[Cranked]

Definitely. Actually Monte's may have a 4 bolt rear end in them too.

 

[4piknup]

I guess vr4 front shafts are different lengths to evo. I imagine the vr4 is a wider car.
Just get your shaft rebuilt.

Monte manual = vr4 rs facelift with sunroof, 6speakers and minor interior upgrades.

Basically a luxury rs.

4bolt. 16g. 510cc etc.

Hubs will be the same.

Cheers for the help guys. The search for parts continues

Maybe you can trawl through the for sale sections and pm a few of the guys that have ads up stripping cars Or selling bits off?
Might get lucky...

 

[4piknup]

Vr4 look like magna, maybe those bits fit
