As we rolled away in our 20-year-old Mustang, the seller mentioned that it might need a new rear wheel bearing. Sure enough, on the drive home, we could hear it howling away.
Add that to the list.
After a few days of very moderate driving, we saw that the rear brake pads were totally finished. Luckily for us, …
I understand that you're trying to baseline the car first, but I would expect you're going to be back in there to do clutches on the limited slip.
It's a frequent topic of discussion on the CSM page. Apparently, they wear out quickly.
Oh, yes, and our LSD needs fresh clutches.
At this point, we just wanted to get the car back on the road. The rear brakes were bad–to the point where it was just about time to park it.
I have been driving the car for about a week now and have to say, its not a bad place to spend time. I am really enjoying the simplicity of it, also the noises coming from the tailpipes are really good.
9" ends, 35 spline, spool. 😁 although I know a few folks that will make you a 9" ready for a 10" ring gear...
If doing a bearing, I splurge for a new axle too. It's easy to condemn the bearing for noise, but after replacing the bearing there is still a noise...

Club Spec Mustang rules require the stock 8.8, although we can install the upgraded carbon clutches from Ford.
Some of the specs parts have arrived with more on the way.

Simple with nice V8 sounds. I miss having a vehicle in my fleet that matches this description. I could buy one but it would just sit most of the time and that seems wrong.

I used the carbon LSD clutches in my Foxbody. They work a treat.

Yeah, good to hear. Plus they’re specifically allowed in the class, too.
