Durable, quality construction. This 8.8 inch Girdle Support System (a.k.a. differential cover) for 1986-2011 Mustangs features heavy duty, yet lightweight, cast aluminum construction, magnetic drain plug, and the required bolts. It substantially increases your rear strength, durability, and lifespan, and is a direct fitment to OEM 8.8” differentials.

Superb characteristics under load. This 8.8" differential cover for 1986-2013+ Mustangs gives the old adage, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” a whole new meaning! This cover gives much better heat dissipation and supports less side-to-side bearing deflection than stock.

Recommended Upgrade. When changing your differential cover it is recommended to upgrade to fresh Royal Purple Synthetic Gear Oil. You will need 3 quarts of Gear Oil.

Application. This Differential Cover is designed to fit the 1986 to 2013+ V8 Mustangs equipped with the 8.8" rear end and installs in approximately 30 minutes using basic hand tools. It does not fit 1999-2004 IRS Cobra or 2012 Laguna Seca edition BOSS Mustangs or 2013 GT500.

Technical Note. Gasket not included. Manufacture recommends the use of a stock style gasket or a bead of Form-a-Gasket for a proper seal.
