I have a 95 8.8 with welded axel tubes, 31 spline axles, eaton 31 spline diff and MAC Rear end support.
I have seen more then my share of axles pop out of fox bodies because the c-clips broke but no one make c-clip elim. for thr 95 disk brake set-up. I thought i heard that the axles will not come out my rear inless the mounting bracket for the rear brakes, brakes too. Is this true ... Or do i need to get a set of strange rear brakes and new axles and c-clip elim.

Thanks Brandon

with the rear disc breaks I don't think the axle could come out unless it breaks the caliper brakets.

c-clip eliminators are a pain in the a$$. huge hassle not worth the time or money expecially in our cars!

Griggs Racing welds on 9" axle ends and uses that retainer....
