Cast Iron housing adds 20# over the Diff brace on alum though, and the aluminum diff with support is stronger than the Iron without the support. Hopefully it has the correct gears for you. Most all half shafts are interchangeable, as long as they are for an S550.
Looks like I got lucky with my $275 eBay purchase. It has a steel housing!
Does anyone know if the Mustang axles are a one size fits all??
Easy Fix. Lower them all the way down, do the Bleed and refill procedures which is on their web site. Plus their are plenty of YOU TUBE Videos on people doing this procedure. You most likely have air in your lines which isn't good. And always, make sure when ever you Raise or Lower the jacks that you "OPEN" the Vent CAP all of the way to prevent cavitation of your tank. Good Luck
I’m with you. I pulled mine with two floor jacks and motorcycle scissor jack (as seen in post #10), by myself. I just kept alternating between all three jacks when lowering and raising the cradle. Certainly not the best way, but it went smoothly.
Thanks! I appreciate the help!!
I forgot, after the Jack system bleed procedures, with the jacks fully down is when you fill the reservoir. Good Luck. IMHO: I would not use them to lift a car unless they worked as specifications describe. To many things can happen. Good Luck
I recently just added the Steeda Red Diff Bushing and their alignment kit to go along with the subframe braces, and bushing support kit. Man I noticed NVH immediately. Did you or anyone else experience this? The noise at low speeds and while changing gears from a stand still in my auto is extremely annoying for me. Steeda told me each cars different but it’s pretty bad imo. I’m really disappointed in those things. Steeda’s response was to sell them to someone else, which I thought was kinda shitty especially for a repeat customer.Agreed! Upgrade half shafts and add the Steeda Hardcore differential bracket and bushings with their through bolt kit. The differential will have to be dropped in order to install the bushings (and properly torque them) as well as the differential bracket.
I have very little NVH, even with the black bushings, polyurethane motor mounts and Boomba transmission mount (with black bushings) it’s not unbearable at all. Maybe each car is different, but I never would have thought that. In addition to the bushings, I have all of the other Steeda rear suspension parts too, so I’m really surprised thst I don’t have more NVH, although I was expecting some.
No, stock driveshaft and stock half shafts with headers and a GT350 rear valance and exhaust. I have a bunch of other suspension upgrades like vertical links, g-trac brace, strut tower brace, front and rear sway bars and Steeda shocks and springs. Maybe the combination caused it somewhere but man it’s noticeable at slow speeds, at a red light with your foot on the break and while changing from Park to drive and into reverse. If it was just while changing gears I would t mind but it’s at red lights and slow speeds. Too much man!
I gotcha. How long have you been dealing with the NVH? Do you plan to remove the bushings from the car? If you do, over time, you could end up with torn bushings. If they are torn already, the Steeda bushings can serve as a replacement if you will, so that you don’t have to replace the factory bushings. How many miles are on your car? Take a look at this thread.
Thanks for the info I looked over that thread. So, my cars a 2015 with only 32k on it. I got it in 2019 and only put 6k on it since then. An older man had it before me and he didn’t track it at all. I’ve had the bushings on for 2 weeks now and I can hear the noise like I said at low speeds and red lights. The mechanic I work with recommended taking out the rear ones and seeing if that helps since they are the easiest to remove. The cars not a track car it’s a street car so I’m not really trying to put up with the noise and with the other suspension parts I have I don’t think I’ll lose to much by taking them out. It just bothers me not sure how others feel but it’s noticeable definitely.
Man after my experience I find it hard to believe but that could line up with what Steeda is saying. Everyone’s IRS responds differently. I mean you don’t hear anything extra at gear shifts or at red lights? Mine is at its worst after I drive it hard a little then get to a red light or try and reverse.
