What other vehicles run the 8.8 axle?

Michael Smith · 11-05-2004, 11:15 AM

Hit a curb the other night going sideways and bent the passenger side axle took out both passenger side rims too, but anyway was wondering what other Ford cars run the stock size axle shafts for the 86-93 Mustang? Any help or input would be great thanks.

None. You need a 28 spline axle from either a 7.5" or 8.8" Mustang rear end (they use the same axles). Avoid any SVO, Cobra, or '79 axles.

Thanks again PKRWUD for the info there are a couple of 7.5's in the area so I will go check them out.

The Cougar and T-bird axles aren't the same length as the Mustang.
