My rear end is leaking

[Mr. Unknown]

Shitty downshifts will do it also. Mine was cracked. The brace was keeping it on. I had about a dime size leak after 25 min of sitting.

I guess I will take my weird sense of humor and sit in the corner.

hardest part of this job for me is always the driveshaft bolts. ive bent more wrenches trying to get those loose than any other part on a mustang i swear..

Ive also had the same problems untill i took off some many mustang driveshaft's i finally got smart. Go to the local snap on man and pick up a 3/8 drive 13mm 12pt wobble impact socket. I slap that puppy on my 3/8 impact and i got the drive shaft out in under a min. and you can finally torque the damn thing too! greatest thing since sliced bread!

Does anyone know if there is a stonger diff cover made in the aftermarket world?

I just noticed two rear end leaks on the left side. Car has 6700 miles and stock tires.

Randy, I think Doug from Billetflow makes a rear end cover, if i'm not mistaken. I know it's a TON of money(somewhere around 1g because of all the work that goes into machining it), but will probably never warp or crack.

I would rather just tighten, reseal or replace the stocker every once in a while. It's just the price you pay!!!

Edit**** I think it was just in prototype phase and never made it into production.

Thanks Andy! I'm hearing that ford has just come out with a "re-tooled" diff cover for the 03-04. My car is under warranty until 07/07 so I'm thinking I'll just take it in.

"i Dont Drag Race The Car".......liar! Jk Do you take your car to like an autocross or maybe u turn corners going like 45 or 50 or more. Usually this will cause rear end to flex or girdle to burst from your IRS so i would recommend a IRS brace after u reseal it.TIGHTEN EVERYTHING UP U PUSSY! :joke:

I don't drag race it!! Really!!

But I do open-track the car and take turns anywhere between 50 and 80 mph.

It's only leaking about 1 drop per week right now.
