Hi guys. I had an 09 AWD White Vibe that got wrote off September last year. We just picked up a red FWD Vibe, and LOVE it. We drove 2 1/2 hours to get this one because it was red, FWD, and better yet, it has the 2.4 like our old one! Too bad we don't have an AWD, but the fuel mileage didn't justify the cost.
I do miss the independent rear suspension. Can I take the complete IRS off an AWD, and bolt it up to mine without the differential and shafts? Obviously I need to find a bolt for the rear bearings so they don't fly apart. Im a mechanic so this stuff is easy, but I really don't want to go modifying the rear structure of the car lol. I don't want the AWD, just the IRS.
Thanks
