C-Clip Eliminator Kit Ford 8.8 Mustang 79-04

The C-Clip Eliminator Kit Ford 8.8 Mustang 79-04 from Moser Engineering is designed to enhance the reliability of classic Mustang rear axle assemblies by replacing the factory c-clip retention system. This upgrade is particularly beneficial for Mustang enthusiasts who engage in high-performance modifications, drag racing, or spirited driving, where the stock axle retention may not suffice.

This kit utilizes a robust retention method that incorporates the axle bearing as a stopping point, effectively eliminating the risk of axle shaft slippage. The components are precision-machined to ensure proper bearing preload and superior axle shaft security, making them suitable for high-horsepower applications. This design is commonly used in professional racing, demonstrating its reliability in demanding conditions.

While the kit is highly recommended for any Fox-body or SN-95 Mustang making over 400 wheel horsepower, it is also advisable for moderately modified street cars where reliability is paramount. Installation requires rear axle service, so it is best suited for experienced mechanics familiar with such tasks. The compact assembly weighs 4.15 lbs and fits the Ford 8.8 rear end without requiring modifications to the housing.
