Help... 31 spline spider gears?
Simple question..
Can I order 31 spline spider gears and replace my 28's?
It'd be a cheap way to have a 31 spline diff if it'd work. I'd then order me up some 31 spline mosers...

if you want the cheap way but good way out. get a diff from an 03-04 cobra. there 31 spline and have carbon fiber clutch disks in them. i got mine from a member on m1r for 200 shipped brand new from ford.

Cool. I did not know that.
Now anyone have any idea why ford would give the explorer a stronger rear than their performance vehicle?

the right side axle is different it wont work youd need 2 left side axles.

yeah the left axles will work for a fox, too short for a 99+ gt thought.
I'm really just curious about changing spider gears only... If not I'll try to find an explorer diff probably
Thanks!

Turns out they wont fit, the 31 spline carrier is wider on the inside
Thanks RUDEDOG.357!
