Will the Rear axle of a 1992 Lincoln Town Car fit a 1994 Lincoln Town Car?
Since the 1990-1994 models were completely identical I believe yes! the earend from a 1994 will work in a 1990, But u must make shore if u have drum brakes u get one with drum brakes, same if u have disk brakes. Unless u change the master brake cylender cause the valving is different. with drum brakes it has valving to keep ur drums pumped up for better peddle feel so with disk brakes they would stick with the drum brake car.

This will greatly depend on what kind of brakes you have and which parts you are trying to replace. Do you have disc or drum brakes? If you have disc brakes, do you want to replace the calipers, pads, or rotors? If you have drum brakes, do you want to replace the drum, or the shoes?
Who invented the first braking system?
Well, there are mainly two types of existing braking systems, the drum brake and the disk brake. lets have a look at both their histories and usage. Firstly the drum brake was invented in 1902 by Louis Renault. They were extensively used by most car manufacturers until 1953, when the first disk brakes on a car were fitted on the Jaguar C-Type. Although the disk brake was in invented 12 years before the drum brake, it was not able to be put into vehicles because it was too unreliable, big and heavy, not to mention expensive. We still have both alternatives today, even though the disk brakes are far superior. The drum brakes are ideal for small and light cars because it does not need as much braking force to stop it and it is far cheaper than disk brakes.
Why aren't hydraulic brakes used for rear wheels when the same is used for the front wheels?
All modern mass-produced cars and light trucks DO have hydraulic brakes on the front and the rear wheels. Heavy trucks generally have air brakes on all the wheels. Maybe you are thinking of cars that have disk brakes on the front and drum brakes on the rear? On cars, these are both hydraulically operated using the same hydraulic (brake) fluid. In normal stopping situations, the front brakes do more work than the rear brakes. Maybe 70 or 80% of the braking is done by the front wheels (it depends on where the weight is in the car and how fast you stop). Disk brakes are a somewhat better brake for a car, but drum brakes are a little cheaper to manufacture. So, disk brakes are almost always used on the front wheels where the braking is more important. Drum brakes are used on the back of some cars to save money. Note that performance cars (sports cars) almost always have disk brakes on all of the wheels.

Is it possible to put your rear disc brakes on a drum brake back axle of a citroen saxo?
It is indeed possible, but it is going to be a lot of work. The engineers who designed the car felt that drum brakes would be best for the car, and it is wise to leave them as drum brakes instead of disc.
