Re: quick 5lug question Reply #1 – October 24, 2004, 05:50:28 PM You mean like this?? No problems at all, just swap shafts brackets and brakes. Quote Selected
Re: quick 5lug question Reply #2 – October 24, 2004, 08:39:27 PM I always thought that the Mark VII axles were too long for a T-Bird housing. I know the rear width ( to ) on a Mark is about 1.5" wider than a T-Bird or Cougar Quote Selected
Re: quick 5lug question Reply #3 – October 24, 2004, 08:53:10 PM Me too, but after I swapped the shafts and brakes, they measured out the same as the TC axle and brakes. I even put my Mach1 wheels on and had plenty of clearance. Go figure :) Quote Selected
Re: quick 5lug question Reply #4 – October 25, 2004, 08:52:46 PM I think the housings are the same width, but the axle shafts vary in size. Quote Selected

Re: quick 5lug question Reply #6 – November 17, 2004, 04:11:32 PM Ed did that same swap on his '87 and didn't recommend going with Mark VII brakes on a TC-width axle. He had problems with clearance. Quote Selected
Re: quick 5lug question Reply #7 – November 17, 2004, 04:28:30 PM 85-91 Mark7 axles are 1/2" wider per side than TC or 94-98 SN-95 axles. Quote Selected
