Do the manual trans Challengers have stronger half shafts than we have now? Since it's pretty much a shortened LX will the Challenger half shafts fit on a Charger, or does the new rear change too much?
Thanks guys

The whole rear end got an upgrade for 2009 to handle the increased torque requirements of the manual trans. The halfshafts went from 28 to 32 splines. The axle got bigger (and got a real LSD). The driveshaft coupling got beefed up too. These upgrades are on all Challengers, 300s and Chargers starting in 2009 model year.
So when we break do we just need to upgrade to the 2009 LSD..??
(realizing it is clearly not
just that simple...)
