Sorry if this topic has come up before, but i searched awhile. I bought my 98 s14 as a shell awhile ago. It doesnt have abs, but i can't tell if it was deleted or not. The reason why i ask is i need to order a driveshaft and want it to work :mike
Thanks everyone

The ABS driveshaft is an inch shorter due to the differential being different between ABS and non-ABS cars. Jack the rear up, look at the diff and if you see a speed sensor on the front of the housing, the diff was used in an ABS system. If there's no sensor there, the diff is from a non-ABS system. Order your driveshaft accordingly.
