89Tonto Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I have stumbled across an axle assembly from a '98 Mustang GT, with discs for the MJ. The price is right. ;) I'm trying to find out what is the basic difference between the two axles. Is there any particular difficulty with using a Mustang axle vs. the Explorer axle? 1. Overall width? 2. Axle spline? 3. Misc.? I understand the mustang has 4 control arms which will be cut off for new spring plates. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLHTAZ Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 You will have to buy your gears/parts specifically for a car axle as they are different than the truck versions so it may be a bit harder to find stuff for as the typical truck guys/shops are not going to know how to work on it if needed. It may be a deal, but I personally would stay away from it as it is likely more trouble than it's worth. I had one myself at one time and when I found out what it was going to take to build it...I sold it :cheers: . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 All cars have the 28 spline axle shafts. Not sure about the width. This site has some good 8.8 info: http://www.therangerstation.com/tech_library/Axles.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
