Rear End

[bmcgc]

The bearings in my 97 Cobra rear end are toast. Im not sure of the condition of the gears, the bearing noise is so loud thats all I hear. I bought the car about a month ago, the PO stated the rear end had just been serviced.

I just installed 17x9 oem Cobra wheels with 275-40-17s all the way around.

I would really like to replace the rear end with one from a New Edge for the added width to push the tires out to the fender lip.

Will my Cobra brakes mount to a New Edge rear end?

If not I will rebuild what I have and use a 1/2 or 1in spacer to push the wheels out where I want them.

If I remember correctly the brakes mount up the same. I do believe the width is the only difference.

They will mount up no problem after you install your cobra brackets on the new edge rear (needed unless you get a mach rear)

I had a line on a low mileage Mach rear but missed out by an hour on it. Would have been nice since it has 3.55s.

Any idea what gears a New Edge GT had? I certainly dont want to go higher than my 3.27s.

New edge came 3.27.

I got a set of 2.73 if interested

I would only be interested in 2.73s if I needed a boat anchor.

I have a set of 3.55 gears for sell. They’re lightly used but are in like new condition.

Its the desired gear for the turbo guys!

Spot on, get your cobra brackets on and everything will mount up.

Lol [MENTION=12926]evilcw311[/MENTION] - my rear is a conglomeration of too much stuff. I barely even know what's back there. I just know I made Ford 9" brakes work haha

Perhaps!

I bought a 03 Mach 1 rear end to go in my 97. Stock 3.55 gears. I pick it up Wednesday.

That should push the 17x9 Cobra rims right out to where I want them.
