93-02 Rear End Differences
#1
![Question](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
besides the gears is there any diff. in the rear ends 93-02. im trying to swap mine over and the one im putting in is out of a ws6 and i think it had traction control cause there are electrical connectors that go out to each side of the rear end, and i looked at mine on my car which doesnt have traction control and i dont have them. will this rear end still work on my car if i swap over all my old brake lines and just pull those harness' off?

Hah I'm yo man
I jsut went though this!
93-97 use 11.7" brakes 98-02 use 12" brakes. 99+ has better posi. which is torque sensing vs the older friction cones (98 and older)
That's it.

I also wasn't able to find anything via Google or Google Images, oddly enough.

I have a 93Z and put a newer rear end cause mine was howling when i bought it. I have only heard of this on tow occasions but the rear i put in was a hair bit narrower. When i place the wheels on and torqued the lugnuts the inside of the rotor hit the caliper mounting bracket that i swapped over from my LT1. I had to remove the caliper and have two ~1/8" spacer cut to go on behind my rotors to clear the caliper mounts. Like i said i have only heard of this happening to one other car so it may have been a fluke.

Everyone knows that stock GM Auburn is not the same as Aftermarket Auburn. I just don't like friction cones I guess because my 91 and 93 have the same problem. Will put it sideways around left hand corners much much easier than right hand. My 91 90% of the time on dry pavement would just spin 1 wheel (and yes, it WAS posi rear).
