Ford 8.8 and 9-Inch Differential Rebuild Manual
The Ford 8.8- and 9-inch rear differentials are two of the most popular and best-performing differentials on the market. While the 8.8-inch differential is commonly used in late-model Mustangs, the 9-inch is the more popular and arguably the most dominant high-performance differential for muscle cars, hot rods, custom vehicles, and race cars. Built from 1957 to 1986, the 9-inch Ford differential is used in a huge range of high-performance Ford and non-Ford vehicles because of its rugged construction, easy-to-set-up design, and large aftermarket support.
Comprehensive Differential Rebuild Instructions
This Workbench manual provides detailed step-by-step photos and information for rebuilding the differentials with the best equipment, installing the gear sets, and converting to Posi-Traction for a variety of applications. The 9-inch differential effectively transmits power to the ground for many classic Fords and hot rods of all types, and is the choice of many GM muscle car owners and racers as well.
What You'll Learn
The guide covers how to disassemble the rear end, identify worn ring and pinion gears, other damage or wear, and shows step-by-step rebuilding of the differential. You'll learn how to select the right differential hardware, bearings, seals, and other parts, as well as how to set ring and pinion backlash so that the rear end operates at peak efficiency.
Aftermarket Differential Coverage
Aftermarket 9-inch performance differentials from manufacturers including Currie, Moser and Strange are reviewed with detailed instructions on how to rebuild and set up these high-performance aftermarket differentials. The manual includes a comprehensive identification chart to ensure proper identification of the model and specifics of the 9-inch differential.
