A while back I bought some spare Syncro parts and have them "aging" on a shelf in my garage. I bought a pretty much complete Syncro drivetrain for $1,000. Much less than trying to buy individual pieces after one breaks. Here's what I got: transmission (with diff lock), driveshaft, front differential, 4 axles, 8 CV joints, 2 brake rotors, 1 brake drum, power steering rack, front & rear suspension arms & some miscellaneous stuff. Another way to acquire a collection of spare Syncro parts is to buy a wrecked van and pull out the Syncro parts out of it and sell the balance. The balance of parts might even pay for the cost of the wreck. Good luck, Jim Davis >> Hi Jim, do you know if the front diff ( VC ) is good. I would be interested if it is and how much you would sell it for. Thanks. Michael M . 87 syncro. |
