309 Gti And Td Axle.. The Same?

Recommended Posts

am i right in thinking the 309td/309 1.6 has exactly the same axle, setup as a 309gti minus the discs?

By Axle do you mean the rear beam?

If so then iirc it has the same torsion bars and ARB, but a search will tell you for sure as I'm fairly certain someone checked last year.

Yes, but the bars are 19mm where as 20mm.

 

Checked a few that came in my old local scrappy :)

The tube is the same, but pretty much everything else is different

 

Drum braked (disks on 309 GTi)

18.5mm torsion bars IIRC (20mm on 309 GTi)

16mm anti-roll bar IIRC (20mm on 309 GTi)

 

So certainly not an upgrade for a 205 as that's softer than the standard 205 GTi setup (19mm TB's and ARB)
