Thread about non-Explorer Axle?

[imp]

Would it be allowable or advisable (maybe needed by some) to start a thread in which I explain the Ford 9-inch axle? I'd bet somebody uses it in a racing Ex. Where would I post it? imp

Good question. I too have been pondering on a good section just for axle's, as the Transmission / T-case section doesn't really cover these. We don't really have a general cross use section, dedicated to just axles. Just Off road project builds.

A subforum in the Street trucks section would help. One could show axle builds for street use, showing traction aides, gearing, shafts, brakes, bars, etc.... The Stang race crowd are big into these 9" axles, but I haven't seen too much use for the Ex, other than Off road use, for full width applications.

For now, one of these should work, depending on your preference.

For Off road builds, in the Off road projects drivelines.

For racing/street use, seems the only fitting place would be in the Need for speed.

For a specific generation use, the modified sub forum.

Thanks for your response! I did this in a Mustang forum with 180 views overnight, only a few replies. Driving axles scare a lot of guys, as they did me, as a shade-tree beginner in the 1950s! I'll work on this. imp
