Kenny Brown Diff Bushings?

I used the KB IRS torque brace on my 99 cobra. It worked pretty well. It came with polyurethane bushings though. I think they have alum ones out now. I don't know about them. It was about $150. I'd say it was worth it.

The KB IRS torque brace is almost identical to the stock 03/04 Cobra IRS brace so we have no need to upgrade. Compared to the 99 IRS brace though, it is a lot beefier!

The bushings will help with the wheel hop, but won't eliminate it. Good sticky tires and warm weather seem to make the most difference. A stiffer set of rear shocks seems to help too.

MiamiFan1354 - do a search here in the SVT forums on a user by the name of wjfawb0. He just did a bushing replacement and he posted pictures of the operation. The bushings are inexpensive, but the install is not the most fun!

U.M.

A friend of mine that had Kenny Brown do a lot of work on his Cobra including blower, full suspension and such, got a call. He was asked if he would like to have the new aluminum bushings installed....Brown claimed it nearly eliminated wheel hop.

My buddy has a 560RWHP Cobra. He did upgrade to the 03 Cobra 1/2 shafts. If he does have them installed I'll get you a report on what he thinks.

I just got a set of KB alum IRS Diff bushings delivered last night. They will be installed once I also get my MM coil-over kit that is due in anyday. So maybe early next week.

I will let you know how it works out. But since I am adding coil-overs at the same time I will not know for sure the effects of just the bushings.

Without a doubt I have not set my expectations that this will fix the wheel hop, a solid axle is needed for the cure, but I am hoping it will help some.

BTW the bushing were like $70+ shipping.
