Stock fox rear end

Iwannagofast · February 20th, 2007, 08:25 PM

I am just wanting to know what kind of diff.s are in the stock fox body gts...... the 1990 specifically. I just bought my stang and love driving it and spinning tires and what not. I've notcied for the most part it will possi up when spinning unless i power brake it. It does spin both tires once i left off the break and take off. Also sometimes it only spinns on tires if i cut to the right but if i ever cut to the left and punch it i get sidewayz.

anyway im just wonderin if i should have a limited slip or if the car is so light and thats the reason that it will get sidewayz fairly easy.

and yes i did search this topic to find the answer because im sure its been discussed but i couldnt find a real answer

thanx for the help in advance.

V8 mustangs from the mid-eighties on have had an 8.8" rear end with the Ford Traction-Lok (sp?) clutch-style limited slip. From what I understand it's a mediocre LSD when new, and it goes to crap after a couple years of normal use. I know you can buy rebuild kits from FRPP, or you can replace it with a better limited slip unit (like an Auburn, Detroit, etc etc).
