Will NB axles work on a 94 NA?
If I had all of the money I've spent on racing, I would spend it all on racing.

Assuming you're using any diff that came in a 94, the NB axles will work. The 1.6 diff is much smaller requiring a different drive shaft and axles.

Looks like the answer is yes, on a '94 with a torsen at least. The mission was to install long wheel studs and replace the bearing as well. The axle was frozen in the knuckle, common issue from what I hear. We unbolted the stub axle and had to knock it out with a BFH. The NB axle went in with a little help. The main difference is that the NB axle is singular unit whereas the NA axle is two pieces. Hope this helps another fellow racer face with the same problem.
