8.8 questions

Ok, So i wanna have 9 inch ends installed on my 8.8 to not have to use the cclip eliminators, local shop says they can do for 200 installed with parts.....sounds fair to me

So axle wise: Do i need to change the current axles, or do i get them modified.

Is the axle an off the shelf item

Do i need to change anything brake wise, can i use the brakes and e brake i already have on the car? (2002gt rear discs)

I am not narrowing the axle at all, but i have no clue (didnt think to ask the chasis shop, and didnt wanna bug him again)

You need to buy a set of proper length axels set-up for the 9" ford bearings, your existing 8.8 will not work.

Call Strange, Moser or another manufacture of your choice and get what you need.

ok what about the brakes?

strange makes a set up to run your existing axles.I will get the part number for you tomorrow from the set that I bought for my car. Here is a link

any luck finding that part number for me....


i am looking at part numbers

h1137 (ends) and b1706mc(brake braket)

but they think i need to change the axle also

if you get the proper bolt pattern and flange depth you can reuse your stock brakes. Call Strange and talk with them.

Sorry it took so long I had forgotten about it ! The part numbers that I have are: A 1092 and A 1090C . These are the c - clip eliminator for stock axles and the part no. for what they call a wedding ring or locking collar. good luck and I hope this helps.
