Drive shaft - do I need abs or non abs?

[zenkiderek]

I am in the middle of a 5 speed swap in my 1995 240sx base. It came with the ABS option. I'd assume I need an ABS drive shaft but I recently went 5 lug and no longer have ABS.

If you have a diff with ABS, you need the ABS driveshaft.

Why would a 5 lug conversion delete the ABS?

If you have a diff with ABS, you need the ABS driveshaft.

umm a non abs manual drive shaft will work, it will just fit a bit tighter. the stock 2 piece drive shaft always has a bit of wiggle room. if your going to a solid 1 piece that's a different story.

i got non abs hubs

the abs sensors affected is on the front hubs correct? see if you can press the abs ring on to your new hubs. the abs sensor in the back is in the diff that's why its a bit longer. GL

A non-abs drive shaft will not work on an ABS equipped car. Here's why:

...the nonABS shaft on an ABS car will wear down the rear transmission seal since it's too tight. If you don't mind replacing the seal once a month, cool. If you'd rather do it right, you buy the correct driveshaft.

really! have you tried it?

It puts the pressure on the middle joint. i have ran min for like 2 years with 17 year old seals with no leaks.

i already received an ABS one piece from ShaftMasters.

Thanks for the info though.
