[QUOTE="zeus201, post: 15713234, member: 54310"] It could be done in a day if you have access to the shop and all their tools / lift, but it'd be a long day. Mine wasn't a DD which made it nice as I ran into all sorts of issues which ended up taking me several weeks to complete. This is what I found when tearing apart the IRS during that time and my car had 60xxx miles: - Bearings on both knuckles were toast. Replaced with FTBR's refurb'd units. - Cross axis boots and joints were toast but those were addressed with the replacement knuckles. - Halfshaft boots were torn. Luckily at the time I found low pair. - One of my toe-links were bent, upgraded to FTBR deluxe pieces. - Resealed the diff cover and filled with Amsoil severe gear. Year later upgraded to the FRPP IRS diff cover which is lightyears better than the stock piece. While waiting for parts to come in: - I ditched the OEM eccentric cam bolt for FTBR ones. - If I recall, 99 and 01 Cobra didn't come with the front diff torque brace that the Terminator came with. I ended purchasing one of those as well and highly suggest getting one. - Replaced the rear brake pads since I already had everything apart. - New fuel filter since it wasn't buried by the IRS. - Ended up painting the upper controls black and lowers as close to their aluminum color. - Replaced pinion seal as well. However, once everything installed and aligned, it was 150% worth all the work. Good luck and take your time! [/QUOTE]
