That's really anyone's guess. A production line is a fluid and changing environment.

Are we talking front or rear axle? My 2004 was built in March of 2004, i.e., presumably two thirds of the way through the model year. Is that some evidence of the newer design?

Hmmm. Do you mean to tell me that my SRT-4 is FWD? Horrors.


Seriously though, thanks for the clarification.

I understand.

Thanks Nivo,



There have been threads on the cut-over dates. I believe it was narrowed down to the Feb-March '04 time frame.

Edited with new PM suggestions and added/rehosted axle picture in first post. Thanks for all the contributions guys! Keep them coming.

[uberingram]

A big thanks to RSchyns for all of his contributions to this thread both in posting and PM'ing me.

Thanks a million.

Okay. . . I put a floor jack under one side of the car, crawled under the car this evening (with jackstands supporting the car for the sake of safety, and inspected the axle with a print-out in hand. Mine has the 2004 and later axle design.

I'm glad we could help you out.

An awsome write up, Uber.

[SkittlePower]

mine was made in jan 04 and i have the yellow clutch cap, side airbag seats, the weak axles, the slider on the cd player, no sunroof, no oh shit bars,.....wtf i guess my car was put together with a crap load of 03 and 04 parts.......not lookin good to me....

[stowaway]

why do you say that? you didn't buy the sunroof option so you didn't get that or the oh shit handles, which only come with the sunroof. I have a mid-march build and have the yellow cap (I think, covered in bird feathers right now), had sliders on the radio, presume I have stronger axles, and still the original boost gauge.

monday car perhaps?
