Is there any guide online or anything that explains how to unbolt the entire IRS assembly and get it dropped? Thanks!
Quick Question on IRS

It is 4 bolts, 2 behind the rear wheels and 2 under the car. Just hang the calipers, disconnect e-brake cable, and unbolt the driveshaft, 4 bolts out and waa-laa.
Oh yeah get the exhaust out the way too...it is really simply once you get under there and get eyes on.

i am in the process of doing this right now ( DO NOT TAKE the spring off that holds the parking brake cable in place). here is a good write up good pics Ford Mustang Corba IRS Upgrade Reinstalled Irs Photo
What are you doing to it?
Planning on putting Bruce's IRS bushing kit. :thumbsup:
So, once I get the exhaust off, remove the driveshaft bolts, and take off rear calipers / just leaving them hanging, I just unbolt 4 bolts and I it will come right out?
a motorcyle jack would be a good investment. getting it out is easy, but a short wide jack will make lifting and lining it up much easier. a couple cheap furniture dollys make moving it very easy
dont forget to unbolt the shocks from either the LCA's or from inside the trunk.
LOL! yeah you cant go wrong with those. VERY in depth.
also dont forget to drop the abs sensors
:dw:
I was under the impression you were only suppose to read the instructions after the job was done :read: You mean to tell me I've been doing it wrong all these years?
Wouldn't the '03-'04 Mustang Service Manual be a help? IMO it's a must have since you can get it so cheap.
I agree everyone should have one but with Bruce's instructions you really dont need it when it comes to R&R of his bushing kit.
The directions are ok but a better step by step for the 1st timer with these cars would be alot easier. Just from my experience with my car.

That only counts for the kid's toys at Christmas!
:fart:
Have not purchased the kit yet, but I am trying to before the price increase July 1st.
The kit price is only going up $20.00 to $595 so it's not a big deal. We never adjusted the price when the front diff mounts went through the new redesign. We also have not adjusted for the additional anodizing charge.
No worries, it will still be the best design and value available on the market today.

Ya know, come to think of it I aways wondered why those delrin thingies didn't look quite right supporting my alternator :??: I think I need to skim thru those instructions again and see if I overlooked something.
