F*#king IRS blew out tonight (pix)

[ShelbyGuy]

only thing you need to remove is the passenger side cat-back

dont forget to get some solid bushings in there too. and all three points.

doing the diff ear bushings without doing the rear diff mount is just begging for it to shatter on you.

shelbyguy what do you mean ear bushings...i did my install with the irs installed but since i have it down if i need to replace them i will....

which bushings are you refering to?

Put one on my car right away,with level 5s, drag race every Friday nite no problems. Suggest every one get one as well.

Is this due to the hard launching only? I took off slow from a light the other night and gradually increased my speed, still had a little hop but I think the road had a lot to do with it. Can the IRS twisting happen to even gradual speed increases or is it the hard launches blowing the IRS only?

Bummer! Warranty time I guess. I just installed the Steeda diff brace and am glad I did! Nice part BTW!

Doug is right. A friend and I messed with the Steeda brace on his car. It is HUGE, and takes alot more effort to install. The BF brace is much easier to work with. At $125 Doug made a believer out of me. I got mine in black

the housing is mounted to the cradle at three points - two "ears" up by the pinion, and a rubber bushing at the back. going solid with the two bushings up front but leaving the rear bushing rubber is just begging for it to grenade.

IRS = Junk.

Solid is the only way to go.

i bought a steeda and it was hell to install even on my lift! i should have bought one fron doug! i just had my freind of mine order one from doug last week and it should be alot easier to install! BF price is a good deal! it should be one of your first mods in my opinion! :thumbsup:

I was able to slip my brace on pretty easy without dropping everything. Its really worth it I think. Last thing I'm thinking of when I get on it! Maybe time for a torque check though.

 

[snakebitten1975]

I took the cobra out for the first time in weeks, lauched it a little hard from a stop light and this is what i got.I should have realized this was going to happen sooner or later , ive allready broken both half shafts.

that sux man, sorry to hear, am glad i put on my IRS way back when

 

[WHITESVTCOBRA]

billetflow>everyone

 

[SoCalCobra311]

I have zero experience with the install of the brace. Any suggestions on where I can take it to have it installed?
