I don't think so. Someone mentioned earlier that our axle shafts are Eagle specific.

Theres plenty of trucks out there running spring under axle setups.  Even some jeeps are run that way.  Most people do spring over axle conversions when they are looking at 4x4ing their rigs though.

I believe spring under is less susceptible to spring wrap then spring over, and the Concord was available with a V8.

SUA, spring under axles are probably more common than spring over axles.




Mazdaman, to get back on subject, the only axle shaft that will fit in your Eagle is an Eagle shaft.
