irs rebuild must have

[nickstang545]

My cobra has 82k miles, the irs is starting to chatter going over bumps and feeling a little sloppy. I considered the delrin bushings but don't wanna pay that kind of money if its not needed. What are some must have parts when rebuilding my irs? Car is street driven only. Tried searching but couldn't find what I wanted to hear. Thank u.

Do the FTBR kit you need it!!sub-frame connector are also A must have! Drag radials also A great idea if its A sunny day car only!!

 

[nickstang545]

I will look this kit up, already got mt drag radials and subframes. Thank u?

 

[nickstang545]

yea, I know its expensive but are cars really need this or some thing like it. don't forget the sway bar end links,you can pass on the bump steer if money is tight that could be added any time!

you will wish you had done it sooner. oh, and spring for the removal tools - they are worth their weight in gold for this install.

I have a pinion seal leaking too, so I also got that to replace, I wanna do this right. The car does have the stock springs still and I plan to keep them. I had hr race springs but got tired of it dragging the ground here in ky.

No, he isn't talking about springs for the car, spring as in spend the money on the removal tools to get the factory bushings out. You can send them back for a credit when you are done. I am getting ready to do two of these kits and possibly another 2 after that. The car will feel totally different after. It will be amazing.

Ftbr= done!!

 

[Tims97SVT]

That goo old saying "you get what you pay for" well your getting a lot from ftbr!

 

[MoKo_03SVT]

I would only get them if you don't have access to a hydraulic press.

Also make sure you have an extra drill bit when you drill the holes for the greese fittings. Mine broke while drilling one of the holes on the upper control arms.

IMO there's no reason NOT to get them since you can return them for full credit, they can only help the install go smoother :shrug:




OP, here's a small sample from my install:

IRS out of the car

subframe bushings done

LCA bushings and grease fitting

UCA bushings and grease fitting

sway bar links

back together w/ BilletFlow IRS Brace

i have the toe links as well but can't find the damn pic...

Who's brace is that on your differential?

Thanks,

right above the pic of the brace, it says "billetflow IRS brace"

 

[nickstang545]

Now all i need to do is find the stuff i need to rebuild my differential while i have everything apart. I need a pinion seal for sure, but i am not sure if i should replace the bearings too? when turning my driveshaft by hand it seems to have a little play in the ring and pinion? is a little play normal? I have worked on almost every part of the car but not the rearend on this car or any other car yet. So this will be my first so any info would be great! Thanks for the the input
