Rear axle ratio different on different models?

Postby KevofCov » Sat Nov 18, 2017 9:41 am

Hi
current van 2010 2.4 RWD 115hp.
Im looking at buying a 2011 2.4 RWD 98hp. Will I definately get a different rear axle ratio? I assume it would be a lower ratio therefore higher reving.
cheers

Thanks gents - I appriciate your time as the subject is a bit anal.
(Its stops being anal when you have to live for years with a low ratio axle)

Never looked for it but I believe there is a label somewhere on the axle.
