[QUOTE="Joe Lynch, post: 345212, member: 1070"] Check the top links on the page below. These were written over a year ago and are based on the 99-01 halfshafts. But I think the '03 wheel hubs and outboard stub shaft dimensions are the same for the '03. Also note that the problem with the outboard stub shaft applies to AFTERMARKET half shafts which have a stronger intermediate shaft than stock, thus moving the weak points out to the CV joints and to the stub shaft. I hope Ford would not increase the strength of the inboard parts enough on the '03 to move the weak point out to the stub shaft due to the safety issues. In other words, from an engineering standpoint, you want to keep the weak part between the wheel bearings, so that, when a failure occurs, the wheel doesn't fall off. Silver03Snake--Your experience is great!! I am happy and surprised. But go check your outboard stub shafts and make sure there are no signs of impending failure. If there are, replace the outboard CV joints periodically and you should be OK. But we need to know how your outboard stubs are holding up. YOU need to know!! A failure out at the stub in 2nd or 3rd gear could put you into the wall at the worst, and ruin a knuckle at the best.

[url]http://www.anythingcars.com/users/jlynch/pen0314launch.mpg[/url] I've done 1.43 best 60' with a 1.46 average on a 100 shot with this setup. A 99-01 IRS car wouldn't last one pass like this.
