you do not want the C clip eliminator pieces, they are mainly designed for drag racing where axle breakage is a problem and retaining the axle is paramount, to use those on a street or track car will prevent the outer bearing from oiling properly. other than that Strange is a great product.
it might be possible that they have come up with some type of forever lubed bearing, but before you purchase one of these, I would call them. There have been a lot of issues with C clip eliminators and bearing life.
This is more our style for road racing.

Yes, agreed. But you won’t go wrong with Strange axles. Pretty much the industry standard for axle replacements.

Just select the right ones for your application.

you want to see some star wars stuff, look at a breakdown of a cambered axle, not the kind witthe barrel ground axles, but the cortex one.
Definitely a star wars price tag too. A serviceable axle housing & $6,700 if ya wanna keep parking brakes!

Thank you I will probably run these, as OEM are $300. Technically I'm not paying for it,but might as well upgrade,since I have to replace em.

That's the set I have. You will need to buy the rings (5R3Z-2C189-AA) & studs separately. Moser also has wheel studs for the rear axles - #8368. They are Grade 8 and better than the Ford studs (no apparent grade markings) but certainly not ARP strength.

Buy new Axle Bearings and Seals ( M-1225-B1). C-clips too. I also recommend a LubeLocker F880 diff gasket.
