Unhappy Car Back in shop, New rear end

back in the fricken shop, i swaer my car loves the shop. had my car brought into the shop becuase last thursday, I was getting o n it when i heard a big boom, got the car home and notice that my drivers side wheel was mov ed up 3 inches. shop took it apart and upon further inspection my axle tube was in the process of braking off the center section, as well as torn bushings in my uppers and lowers. so the housing is junk. soooooo i need a new housing and decided to bite the bullet and spend a little extra and go withb a ford 9".
so here are the parts-

moser 9" housing
31 spline axles
eaton locker
3.89 gears

basically unbreakable, not happy about spending the money, actually im really pissed (contemplating selling the car). but it should bcomplete the car as far and drivetrain goes, then i cant sell it lol too much invested.

but i guess you cant count on stock parts with more power and torque


word of advice for people, keep your car stock lol

not sure why you would go 9" but cool i guess. And why would you sell it after you get done making everthing nice and strong. Now its at the best part where you can just kick its *** and it asked for more.

Now you can throw whatever you like at the rear end. I say do some 6k rpm drops with slicks. Car could very well lift the front.

:devil:

HP = $$$ . Only way to avoid it is to get a very fast car and keep it stock which you know will never happen. So far for me my weakest link is going to be the stock tranny. Im like you in to deep to sell it, but remember you love it when everything is working so just fix that rear end.

im going 9" because its really not too much more for what you get, and i dnt want a used 8.8, ive already broekn a stock housing. i alsways say i want to selll it when i break something.

next thing with be subframes and brakes with a little shot, then i hope im done

I would love to do some 6k drops with slicks, i just gotta get some slicks.

I loove my car i just hate spending money to fix broekn things, but i guess it ok, at least im not replacing things that arent broken.
I have the engine cuz the stock one blew , i have the tko cuz the stock blew and now i have the *** end cuz the stock one blew. every mustang should come built up

it says 370 in his sig
oh, and that new rear end ought to be a good ol' pile of fun. Now you have been breaking things then replacing them, so lets hope your breaks don't break, because i think that might lead to an expensive repair.

how does a break break? If its broken, how does it break again if its already broken?

LOL Pay to play man, if you go into a car, ESPECIALLY A MOD MOTOR CAR, and dont expect to be paying out the ***, you shouldve done more research.

Dont sell it, its badass, and hell, its fully built at this point...
