    Traction-Lok Upgrade on 8.8

    Well, the dealer claimed it's a open 8.8 out of a T-bird. However, come to think of it, I don't think the T-bird has the quad shocks, so unless they modified the mounts on the rear-end, that wouldn't add up. I know nothing about what T-birds use, but I would guess they don't have that. I...

    Traction-Lok Upgrade on 8.8

    Steering Rack Choices

    My 88' GT's steering rack went out (passenger side leak) and I'm wondering on my choices for a replacement. I know there is the Ford and TRW in both standard and sport. I have the factory pump so I need to make sure whatever rack I choose won't cause a conflict. My confusion is on the...
