I bought a 2000 mustang GT and it has a 8.8 rear, torsen differential and superior 31 spline axle. Ive been having problems with my calipers dragging on my rotors and such and figured i had sticking calipers due to the recall ford had on them. well ive now replaced both rotors, both calipers, and all pads, the pedal feels good, and the car stops well just while im driving there is constant dragging of the actual caliper on the rotor. I brought it over to my dads house to look at it closer and when we took the rotor off i can just pull the axle right out, it slides out very easily. Im trying to fix this as soon as possible, any help woudl be much appreciated, if pics are needed i will try and pull some up when i get a chance. thanks alot

hmmm, no c clips in a torsen? Interesting, I would not think an axle should just slide out....get some pics up, around the real axle, by the calipers, rotors, etc, and if you can pull the diff cover off, have someone push one of the axles in, to see if it has a groove for a c clip

There may not be provisions for the c-clips in those axles or carrier??? Or thy never put them in!

pull the diff cover so we can see if they came with the c clips er not

we looked up and down the axle shaft for any signs of wear in hopes of locating where a clip may have been, and the entire shaft is clean. the only place with any wear on it is where the bearing is. im going to a local mustang tuner tomorrow to talk to them about it maybe they can answer some questions too. once i put it back in the air again i'll get pics up. unfortunatily im in a situation where this car is my daily and i cant keep it in the air overnight =( i really hate driving it like this. i just know im going to F something up more. but i appreciate any feedback and ill get pics up when i can

Put it this way, stop driving you car before the axle falls out and causes alot more problems.
