you mean a 9" or an 8.8" with strange axles, 3.73 and SVO diffrential cover?

hmmm with the s10s we use ladder bars or slapper bars or the best the cal-tracs traction bars

http://www.calvertracing.com/info/info.htm

but ladder bars simply take the torque from the diffrential and force it downward once the rearend starts to torque itself thus taking out wheel hop and letting you hook better- but im not familiar with mustangs so i dont know what you guys do to find traction YET

you would snap stock ones soo fast. asumming you have enough power to pull a 1.6 60' so you will need these soon


and i dont think they make latter bars for unibody cars

so i really dont need a new posi unit its more of just axles / clutch / suspension / gears b/c a new posi = $500 + install....

cool thanks for the help-

i have never put new axles into a car are they pretty easy to install?

P.S. Can those strang axles handle alot?
