As long as they are mtx axles, you are clear for take-off.

If you lived close to me, I'd sell you my 3.94 tranny.

I can ship my 3.94. Have one just about sold, and another to get rid off. As for the axles, I'd recommend upgrading to 2G neon axles or srt axles, to b ready for the additional 30 lbs +/- of torque the 2.4L puts out.

[align=left]What year are the axles from? I think you can only use 00 or 01 axles. You would also need the hubs as well. [/align]

Its as easy as swapping the axles in with the hubs. Use your 1st gen knuckles so the struts will botl on, otherwise you will have to machine down the 2nd gen knuckles.

2nd gen axles are rated up to 165 ft/lbs of torque.
