Solid Rear Axle Advantages
• Maintains constant track, toe-in and camber relative to
the road surface and keeps body roll well under control
• Offers better off-the-line performance
• Differential-mounted central upper control arm helps
prevent axle windup
• Solid rear axle design is typically more robust than
an independent rear suspension — effectively handling
large amounts of torque
• Rear axle ratio is more easily changed by racing
enthusiasts seeking more performance
Rear-wheel-drive/solid rear axle configuration is a key
purchase motivator for Mustang enthusiast buyers

They should add: no broken half shafts for 500+hp applications

Kevin, are the source books just a more detailed order guide or what?

However, thanks for the post. Any more info on a 2008 Mustang is always welcome......

The order guides are more accurate as far as what you can and can not order and do not have anything to do with product knowledge, the source book is a PK handbook.

OK, thanks Kevin!

These are great! I spent about half an hour just going through it quickly. I think I'm going to reading this some more!

No more T-Lok on automatic GT's?

Traction-Lok Rear Differential
• Mustang GT models with a manual transmission feature a
Traction-Lok 8.8-inch rear differential for improved traction
and performance on slippery or uneven surfaces
• Often referred to as “limited-slip,” Traction-Lok transfers
driving force to the rear wheel with the best traction
• Great for customers living in rainy or cool climates, or for
customers prone to spirited acceleration or competitive driving
