7.5" Limited Slip Question and Che Lower Control arm review
Hey All,
I just got done installing CHE performance tubular control arms in my 88' Cougar and couldn't be happier. Absolutely worth the money. Along with throwing on a TC rear sway bar, these arms really tightened up the ride. Now the car inspired confidence while taking fast turns.
My question is regarding doing a rear axle gear swap. I bought a 7.5" trak-loc axle with 3.45 gears out of an 86' TC. My cougar currently has the 3.08 open diff. The TC axle is cosmetically in rough shape and would need new seals and brake job before being installed, whereas my Cougar's open diff is in great shape. This leads me to wonder if it would be better/easier/cheaper to swap the gears and axle shafts from the TC into my Cougar's rear instead of refurbing the TC rear and going through the trouble of installing it.
Thoughts?
