Can anyone help me out with the visual differences between the two? I have a couple wreckers with rear subframes but they can't tell me what model they came from. I just don't want to end up with a tt rear frame because I wasn't sure.

Thanks for the help

Don't quote me as I've never had my hands on a TT subframe but I believe the mounting brackets/holes for the HICAS on the TT would be a way to differentiate the two. Hopefully someone with a bit more knowledge on the subject pops in.

Nahbro. Differential is where the HICAS actuator bolts on. Sway bars will be different sizes, but I'm assuming you're gonna be looking at them "bare."

But the differential mount points will be a bit different, IIRC. I believe the TT is a little higher mounted and a bit more spaced out, but don't take that for fact. Looking at the FSM, I found this, if the wheel hubs are still installed:

I know there are other differences, like the E brake hardware, but again, if you're shopping bare subframes, that won't help much.
