[exindust]

My Rear end is howling and while im back there i might as well do 4.10's...

Is this bearing kit everything i need to get rid of the howling rear end ( and install the 4.10's ... professionally of course )

FRPP makes three levels of kits, each with more stuff. Check them out at www.fordracingparts.com. The bottom line is until someone gets in there and starts working, it is hard to predict which seals and bearings will need replaced. I would get the kit from FRPP that has the most stuff and have it all installed if your car has more than 50k or so. This will replace even the axle seals and bearings and will be a complete rear end and TrakLok rebuild. There is not much price difference in the three kit levels, the labor charges are what you will have to watch out for.

Where on the site can you find these kits? I went to Merchandise, and then to Driveline/Ring and Pinion Sets and just gears were in there. I searched around and couldnt find where the insall sets are. Can you tell me where I need to look, thanks!

EDIT: Ok I found some kits under Differentials. The only one I found is the 8.8 TRACTION-LOK REBUILD KIT, would this be the one?

Comes with:

Kit includes clutch pack, shims, friction modifier and instruction sheet
Fits all 8.8" Traction-Lok differentials

This one is only like $40, couldnt find any other ones. With the M.Tuning one being almost twice is much, is it a better kit, includes more?

The other one I found just said Carbon Rebuild Kit, but didnt list any components it came with.

This one is just for the trac loc rebuild kit, does NOT include bearings and seals, You might have to dig a little further, It should be around 125 or so for the complete kit, trac loc rebuild kit, and all the bearings and seals....

Thanks just found the 3 kits. They are under Axle Components.

My car has 30k miles, 5-speed, not beat on. What kit would be best to get when I do my 4.10's?

I also noticed the $120 Ford kit doesnt come with the case gasket, but the motive kit does. Ford sells them for around $9, would it be wise to get one of these as well?

You do not need a gasket, RTV works fine...

 

[goshia]

The only way to go. It cost $250 to get the noise level way down...

that kit is fine. BTW DO NOT USE THE GASKET. i have seen horrible leaks on cars people used gaskets on. all mine get rtv and none have comeback.

 

[exindust]

What is RTV???

 

[Kilgore Trout]

It is a silicone that squirts out of a tube, it is the blue stuff in the pic...

 

[bakos24]

yeah, do not use the gasket, use the rtv. I used a gasket and started to leak a slight bit, not to bad though.

Your engine code is the 8th number in your vin. should be a 4, W or a V. Pretty much a 4 banger is the number 4, GT is a W, and Cobra is a V

or just look at this:


1999 Mustang VIN Decoder

Engine Codes 4 3.8L EFI V-6 190hp
W 4.6L SOHC EFI V-8 260hp
V 4.6L DOHC EFI V-8 320hp (SVT Cobra)

Other
1FA Ford Motor Co.
L Restraint System (L-air bags & active belts)
P Passenger Car
40 Body Code (40 - 2dr, 42 - 2dr GT, 44 - 2dr Convertible, 45 - GT Convertible, 46 - Cobra Convertible, 47 - Cobra Coupe)
W Engine Code
6 Check Digit (varies)
X Year (X - 1999)
F Plant (F - Dearborn)
000001 Consecutive Unit Number

Example: 1FALP40W6XF000001
