How can I convert my front wheel drive car to rear wheel drive?
How can I convert my front wheel drive car to rear wheel drive?
Try to locate a toe-bar that will thread into the stock steering end links. Cut the rear of your car apart so that the assembly physically fits in the car’s trunk and rear seat area. Connect the welded sub-frame to the car’s body by whatever means best suits your application. Quarter-inch plate steel works well as does rectangular tubing.
Which is easier to drive rear wheel drive or front wheel drive?
When young drivers transition from racing rear-wheel drive (RWD) single-seaters, to front-wheel drive (FWD) touring cars, they often try to carry over their old techniques. Unfortunately, this results in slow and demoralising lap-times. A big problem is that FWD cars are often regarded as ‘easier to drive’ than their RWD counterparts.
Is it possible to put a rear wheel drive engine in a car?
As for the rear you would at minimal need to remove the rear diff, axles, and just leave the spindles bolted through the rear hubs. (assuming we are talking a car with IRS.) You can also take a front wheel drive engine and mount it longitudinally mated to a RWD transmission.
Do you need a prophaft to convert a FWD car to RWD?
Otherwise you’ll need a differential to take the power to the rear of the car through a propshaft. Shortcuts to RWD conversions. If your FWD car model has a four wheel drive option it makes the conversion process a lot simpler – think A3 Quattro for example.

Why do some cars have front wheel drive?
Some car owners like the challenge of modifying their vehicles. The front wheel driving controls the steering and pushes the weight to the back of the car on acceleration. Every high-power car manufacturer follows the rear wheel drive setup.
