    Description

    NOTE! When we ship a rear end, we will remove the third member and ship it in a separate box. Some assembly will be required.

    Housing overall width - 54-1/4 inches flange to flange. Spring perches are 43 inches apart on center.

    Overall width measured from faces of axles, not the tips. All 1967-70 have the same overall width of 59-1/2 inches.

    Rear axle assembly - Housing, Axles, brake backing plates, and third member. First year for the oil fill plug in the cast third member. Also has little differences in the housing. Early 1968, before February 1968.

    As removed from West Coast Cougar organ donor car. We recommend a bearing and seal inspection prior to use. For safety sake, brake components should never be reused. Choice of 2.75:1 or 3.00:1 ring and pinion ratios, non-locking only.
    *Tip - If you are looking to strengthen your 1967-68 Cougar or Mustang with a 9 inch rear end, consider buying our used assembly from a 1969 or 1970. Everything bolts in the and looks nearly the same.
