Ford Differentials - How to Rebuild the 8.8 Inch and 9 Inch
This book is a detailed guide to Ford 8.8- and 9-inch rear differentials, two of the most popular high-performance units for muscle cars, hot rods, custom vehicles, and race cars.
The 8.8-inch differential is commonly used in late-model Mustangs, while the 9-inch, produced from 1957 to 1986, remains the most widely used performance differential due to its strong construction, simple setup, and extensive aftermarket support.
The book provides step-by-step instructions and photos for rebuilding these differentials, including disassembly, inspection, and reassembly. It explains how to identify worn gears and components, select bearings, seals, and hardware, and correctly set ring-and-pinion backlash to ensure peak performance.
It also covers upgrading to posi-traction, installing gear sets, and adapting the differential for specific applications. Aftermarket 9-inch performance differentials from Currie, Moser, and Strange are reviewed, with guidance on rebuilding and setup. A comprehensive identification chart helps readers determine the exact model and specifications of their differential.
Chapters include axle identification, inspection, purchase considerations, differential teardown, gear removal and installation, drive axle choices, and more, making this book an essential resource for anyone working on Ford 8.8- and 9-inch rear ends.
