I had the carrier bearings go bad on my stock 8.8 they were making a heck of a racket after 79K miles. I thought the noise was my gears so I had just made up my mind to replace everything in it. Not bad for the way it was driven.
My car is a weekend and track car and gets driven the way God intended it to be driven- HARD. (the previous owner drove it hard too) So thought that I should replace with stonger parts while I was in there, especially since I planned on getting some ET Streets
I went with an Eaton LSD, and superior axles (31 splines) these guys have a helluva deal for the set. http://www.drivetraindirect.com/ 549 for the LSD and Axles.

$549 + tax for the Eaton 31 spline Limited Slip Differential and Superior 31 spline axles (no shipping costs as I live about 15 miles from them) I had a local hook up with a Ford Service tech and got the install for cheap. I was going to throw 4.30's in (had them in hand) but neither of us had experience with the thicker ring gear the 4.30 gear has and werent aware that you were supposed to notch them. So I reused my old 4.10 gears. I get even black marks on the pavememnt when I want and I have no fear of 5K launched on ET Streets. Well except for the weak t-45.:bash:

that is the only way to go, just do it now and have no problems down the roadOriginally posted by monkeyspunk79
Yup, the stocker will hold up for a while, but with a heavy season or two of launches and some sticky tires...pop goes the axle.
31 Splines are the order of the day.
