Default rear axle problem and rear suspension

Where do I post this best??

I road race my Mustang GT. Sebring, Moroso, Homestead.

My rear axle-ends are leaking all over the wheels and rear brakes.
I have had advice about a c-clip eliminator kit, but they say that it is not good for road racing.

Basically I want to stop my axles from moving within the rear axle housing, which should also fix my brake pads wearing uneven in the rear.

I have not found anyone who can put the 9" style axle ends on 8.8" axles and still be able to use ABS.

Anybody done this? any advice or contacts?

Also, while I have the rear axle out, do I go for the 5 link steeda suspension, or Torque arm with Panhard bar?

Sounds to my like you axle seals are bad(busted), somewhere along that line, jack the car up take the tire of, remove everything in your way to were you can see your axle(do this on both sides, but you half to also take you back plate of to take your c-clips out that are holding you axles in, take axles out and check your seals that is most like whats wrong is that your seal in the end of your tubes went bad. It isnt a piece a cak either, but with the right jack, some stands and power tools, it isn't to hard.. Gl and welcome the the forums.
