1986-2014 Mustang SVE Performance 8.8 Rear Axle Differential Cover Upgrade Kit
Improve the strength and support of the 8.8 rear axle in your 1986-2014 Mustang with help from SVE's premium differential cover! The flimsy factory differential cover utilizes a stamped steel construction that is prone to flexing under heavy loads. To prevent this, SVE stepped up to the plate and manufactured this problem-solving differential cover. Whether on the track or street, SVE's differential cover will add strength to your differential by increasing housing rigidity and reducing flex in the main bearings. Extensive flex on these bearings can cause the ring and pinion gear to mesh incorrectly, creating unwanted wear and eventually the infamous gear whine. Completed in a bare finish and etched with SVE's signature logo, this differential cover will be sure to look as good as it performs for years to come. New differential cover bolts are included for a quick and easy installation.

Why Buy An SVE Differential Cover?

  • Increased Housing Rigidity - Constructed with high-quality aluminum that's CNC machined for a precision fit, this robust diff cover is built to last.
  • Easier Maintenance - SVE designed convenient drain and fill plugs for easy maintenance and fluid checks.
  • Prevent Bearing Flex - Adjustable load bolts to properly pre-load the main bearing caps and give your differential the proper support it requires!
  • Trusted By Enthusiasts - With almost 200 5-star reviews, this SVE aluminum differential cover is a favorite among Mustang enthusiasts.
  • Complete Solution - SVE includes a LubeLocker differential cover gasket, 2 quarts of 75w-140 Royal Purple Max-Gear gear oil, and 1 bottle of Ford Racing friction modifier.

Fitment Notice
  • Fits 1986-2014 Ford Mustangs with Ford 8.8" Straight Axle.
  • Fits behind Maximum Motorsports Panhard Bar on 1986-1998 Mustangs.
  • This differential cover DOES fit behind 2005-2014 Panhard bars.
  • Will NOT fit Mustangs with Cobra IRS.
  • Installation Notes: LMR recommends double-checking clearance between the differential cover and your spare tire location on 1986-2014 Mustangs when the suspension is fully compressed. You will need roughly 79mm/3-1/8in between the mounting surface to the end of the diff cover.
  • Installation Notes: Torque the load bolts to 5-10 ft./lbs. Excessive torque can damage the differential bearings! Torque the jam nuts to 25-30 ft./lbs.
  • Installation Notes: Torque the girdle to axle housing bolts to 20-25 ft./lbs.
  • LMR recommends the 75W140 viscosity for all 1986-2014 8.8" differentials as it is appropriate for most climates, fuel economy, and performance.
