  1. 2011-2014 Mustang GT Tech
    Currently having my new motor built and trying to figure out any or everything I can do while the motor and trans is out. mostly preventative maintenance I guess or things to clean up the engine bay. trying to collect a parts list as well. wondering what everyone has done with the rears in their...
  2. Mustang II Tech
    Hi there, I'm in the process of building a 77 cobra, but I need a new rear end. I'm looking for one that I could find somewhat easily (local junk yard or something) that would be an exact or close match to the original in length. I am not opposed to using a rear end from another Ford vehicle, I...

    I know there is a ton of posts about this but they are kinda messy and hard for me to find the answer I'm looking for. I want to run 17x10 wheels 5 lug with disc brakes on my rear end. Currently my axle housing is bent so I will need to get either a 8.8 from a fox or from a sn95. If I get a...

    Hello All, I have not posted on here in YEARS due to college but now that's behind me and I'm working on the mustang again. I had the recent displeasure of my engine dropping a valve and ruining the motor. I now have the whole drivetrain out and am working on what to do for my rear end. I...
  5. 2005-2010 V6 Mustang Tech
    Hey there, looking for some advice on what parts I might consider replacing in my 2006 V6 while I have the rear end apart. I'm installing a limited slip diff and some 4.10 gears. I got the install kit with the bearings and gaskets. A guy I talked to about doing it mentioned something about...

    I have found a guy on Craigslist claiming he has a T/C rear end for sale that he ordered back in 1995 and then never used it. but the pic of the rear end looks like a standard mustang rear end with drum brakes. So my question is did the T/C's only come with disk in the rear or did they have drum...

    Hey all, I was looking for what your guys' opinion was on 1 inch lowering blocks for my 65 mustang. I want to do it because I think the car could use about an inch or so out of the rear end stance, what do you guys think? Thanks.
  8. 5.0L Tech
    I think my limited slip is starting to go out. Feels like only one tire is spinning. I will need to do some tests to be sure but... What are the options and opinions on getting it back in shape? Replace? Repair? Is friction modifier an option? Thanks.

    I picked up a 67 coupe in South Carolina. The place I got it from has a 68 Cougar with a 9 inch rear end. This is my first Ford rebuild so I know little about the 9 inch. He says it will bolt right up but I want to verify that. The other question I have is its configuration. Since I've worked...

    Hey guys, doing a i6 to 302 swap in my 68 coupe. Im shopping for a rear end because I know the tiny little 7 and 1/4 inches would break, so I'm just looking for a list of bolt in or easily modified rear ends to use, preferably with disc breaks set up. I know the 95-98 explorer 8.8's are...
  11. 2005-2010 Mustang GT Tech
    Hey guys, about a week ago I noticed my drive train making a roaring, whine noise that seems to be coming from the rear end and makes it sound almost like bigger tires on a jeep. Everything is stock in the rear end and I have never had a problem with it except having to change the pinion seal in...
  12. 4.6L Tech
    My 2004 Mustang GT has a whine/humming sound coming from the rear end only under slight acceleration or when holding a steady speed. It starts making the noise around 45 mph and will continue to about 55-60mph. I typically drive around 50mph most of the time and this is when the noise is most...

    Hi folks, I have read so many great and helpful posts on this forum that I thought it was finally time to share one of my own challenges and hopefully find help. I recently acquired a 1965 mustang convertible, sprint 200 6 cyl automatic. We loved it, researched the dealer and bought it...

    So took the car on the freeway for the first time since the steering issue. Got going about 60 mph and I got this wicked vibration. It was bad enough I had to slow down to 45 mph and get off at the next exit. To me and my passenger it felt like it was coming from the rear end and it felt like...
  15. 5.0L Tech
    So Ive seen the junkyard post about how the rangers came with 4.10 gears in 8.8 rear ends. Are these a straight swap over as in take the entire rear end and swap them out? I would rather do that then try to swap the actual gear and pinon out. Ive never done that type of work before and afraid...
  16. Classic Tech
    Hello everyone, I am currently upgrading my i6 to 5 lug bolt pattern, so far the front is complete and I am planning to replace the rear end with a 8" from a 64-66 mustang. Would this be a direct replacement? or will I have to do any mods? Also would the driveshaft work? or need to replace...

    I have a picture of the tag on my rear end and was wondering if that could be decoded to tell if it is an 8 inch or a 9 inch as well as what gears would be in it too. Here's a pic of the tag. Any info would be great! thanks!

    Is it possible to do a '99 rear end 5 lug disk break swap to put on a foxbody?
  19. 2005-2010 Mustang GT Tech
    I have a 2005 mustang gt 5spd manual. I just replaced my ball joints at work at 86,000 miles and also replaced my rear tires with what we have available at work, which are Firestone Bridgestone tires. Short story I put on Bridgestone Turanza Serenity plus tires and when I change lanes at highway...
