85 Caprice rear end replacements
A friend of mine blew his rearend up in his '85 Caprice and I'm trying to help him replace it.
I am a Toyota junky(4x4) and know nothing about his Caprice. What vehicles had the same rear axles?(years and models) I don't know what gears came stock in these either, and would like to know. I am trying to help him source one now and would like to know what other vehicles to look for. Any online FSMs floating around for the '85 Caprice? I believe the Buick Roadmaster is the same as the newer Caprice, but wasn't made in '85. What years of Caprices will swap over? So far I found these models are similar, but I don't know if the rear axles are the same.(Can anyone verify?) 1977-85 Buick LeSabre 1977-90 Buick Estate 1977-90 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser 1986-91 Oldsmobile 88 1982-86 Pontiac Bonneville Sorry for the total Newb questions. Thanks for any help. Last edited by 4runner Freak; 01-21-2009 at 12:39 PM.

What years of Caprices will swap over? you will find that this axle is very common and used in many GM vehicles...this rear diff has few problems and the scrap yard should have one for you for a good price...

Re: 85 Caprice rear end replacements
GM B-body sedan with 7.5" ring gear, used 1977-1990 (also 1991-1996 but the wheel bolt pattern is different).
The wagon unit won't properly fit, so get one only from a sedan.
