If you want to tune your car and, above all, want to change the exterior a lot, then a rear swap might be interesting for you. The rear swap is carried out for various reasons and, above all, offers you the opportunity to use other car brands as a "spare parts store" or "design template". With a rear swap, also called rear-end swap (or simply: "rear exchange"), you can convert your rear end according to your wishes.
Rear end conversions - what is it?
Rear end conversions is another name for rear swap and rear-end swap. All terms can be translated roughly with tail exchange. Rear Swap is known primarily in the motorcycle scene, but is also carried out in cars in the tuning area. The rear swap allows the rear of other automakers or other car models to be mounted on your own car with more or less effort. The correct installation allows the tuner to customize the car to his liking. Furthermore, the rear exchange also offers, if hardly spare parts are available and a rear exchange must take place for repair reasons. With older car models, a rear swap is often possible at low cost. For a rear exchange to take place, however, there must be some conditions.
Rear swap - make sure that they are identical
When rear swap should be paid to a largely identical construction of the rear. For example, depending on the model and year of manufacture, for example, an Audi A3 rear can be installed on the VW Golf or a VW Vento Passat rear on the VW Vento. Also on older Toyota models a rear swap is possible. It is more difficult when the vehicles are basically very different. The rear of a BMW 5er Touring will probably not fit on a Smart ForTwo. But in the end, only the financial burden, the personal taste and the legal situation in your country decide on the possibilities. Feasible is almost everything with the corresponding effort. In tuning forums, there are many examples of a successful exchange of hands. Here you can always get ideas. Even professional tuners can provide information about the method of tail exchange and suitable models. The exchange of the rear of the car, however, is generally not easy. In addition to the optical parts such as the rear apron, the taillights or the tailgate often technical things such as the axle including the drive and brake must be replaced or modified. And it can also come after the rear exchange to loud driving noise. After all, the vehicle was not designed that way. It is all the more important that the rear swap is carried out professionally.
Rear-end swap of Toyota Supra in a Corolla
As an example of a rear exchange, the installation of a supra-rear in a Toyota Corolla can be mentioned. The Supra models with years of construction from 1979 to 1982, for example, fit into an 86 Corolla. The car parts from the Supra can easily endure + 450 PS which is also a reason for the popular conversion. The rear exchange of the Corolla rear is described in detail in English pages on the Internet. And German vehicles are suitable. Popular here, as well as at Front swap, the conversion of a VW Golf to the appearance of the Audi A3. In general, however, it is advisable to consult a specialist for a rear-end swap as well. Furthermore, the question is in the room, whether a rear exchange is even allowed for road traffic or is. It should be clarified before the rear swap, whether the approval of the vehicle goes out and a rear exchange is only something for closed roads. In a professional tuning workshop you get the subject of rear swap but information and can also ask for identical tail parts. Make sure that axles and other automotive parts fit exactly or can be made to fit.
