Can enyone tell me if all Mav rear ends are 2" longer to the right of the diff. like the 72 Comet rear I have? and which maverics/comets came with 5 lug axels. Thanks,
Jared ..................... ...All of your previous questions have been answered correctly. ...All the 8" rears in the Comet and Mav (71-77) have the 43" spring pads and the 56.5 spacing. Most all are 5 lug with some exceptions. Most of the cars with the V8 have 5 lug rears. ...The offset in the tube lengths are due to the pinion gear running on the 'side' of the ring gear, in order for the drive shaft to be centered in the car, the housing needs to provide some offset to account for this fact. ... Also the 8" rears have 10" drum brakes as opposed to 9" for the 7.5" rear, 4 lug type. |
