How to Remove the entire rear axle assembly: 1994-2004 Ford Mustang SN95 New Edge

[@jwarrenmetzger]

Dude this is an excellent video. You explain the process well and share what you’ve learned. Great job.

[@thepoorcanadiandriver9304]

Thanks alot! I got a list of tools I need when I head to the junkyard for a new rear end, very informative 👍👍

[@aro5276]

If you get a junkyard rear end, how do you appropriately line it back up to your driveshaft mark? I always wondered this

[@majortom4543]

this is a good question

[@solowstang9821]

About to hit the scrap yard now this video gonna save a lot of head ache

[@elkameleong]

The jack on the wrench tip was the sh*t. I can never get enough leverage with a double wrench or cheater bar. Thanks!

Wow, great job man 👏🔥

I swap my rear axle a month ago, is always a good idea to remove the springs first (After removing the tires of course lol) They hold unnecessary tension while working on the axle. Other than that, good video...and Beautiful Mach.

[@adamjustice8250]

I am not an expert on this, but in other applications direct spring tension has no effect on longevity or condition of most springs. Spring steel fatigue is caused during the act of compressing or flexing the spring, leaving a spring under compression has barely any effect. They have high yield strength and high recoverable plastic strain

Hi, how do you go about balancing the drive shaft afterwards? Any marking will be gone as its a total replacement. Thanks

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

A machine shop can balance it. It would be a great time for them to install new u joints too

[@s34nvideos]

@@dannyjohnsonsgarage Sorry, i think my question may have been unclear. Let me try again: When you remove the drive shaft, you mark both: the front end and the rear end with marker/paint When you replace the entire rear end (diff), then you wont have those markings on the rear. So what is the solution for this? The drive shaft is of course balanced, but its not balanced against the new diff

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

Honestly, you most likely won’t have any issues. I rebuilt my entire rear end with all new parts minus the drive shaft and it was fine. If you run into any problems try rotating (installing) the drive shaft one quarter turn and try again.

[@s34nvideos]

@@dannyjohnsonsgarage I'll give it a try. Thanks for your help!

[@datdangstang]

Hopefully getting a good used unit tomorrow

thank you so much for a great and the side tips. Thanks for creating this and sharing :D

[@trainingblender3350]

Great video👍👍

[@NovaCaine2489]

What would be the symptom of a broke diff? Cause while I had my car on jacks I noticed the driver side wheel would only really turn when I give it gas but the passenger continuously spins like I imagine it should

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

It depends on the model too. The v6 is an open end diff and only the passenger side has power (you’ll see a one wheel tread mark if you peel out). On the GT and Cobra it’s a traction lock, so they are designed to spin individually so the wheels can turn at different speeds on turns (otherwise the wheels would lock up and lurch since the outer wheel on a turn spins more than the inner wheel). It’s only in a straight line that both lock up. If they aren’t locking up, then the clutch packs inside the diff may be worn to where they don’t lock up, then you could use a rebuild

[@NovaCaine2489]

@@dannyjohnsonsgarage it's just a v6, so what I'm seeing is supposed to happen?

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

@@NovaCaine2489 yes.

[@NovaCaine2489]

@@dannyjohnsonsgarage cool, thanks

[@NovaCaine2489]

@@dannyjohnsonsgarage okay, so I was working on my cars and I noticed my 2004 doesn't have a EGR valve to exhaust tube, but my 2001 does, what would it being gone do and how would I replace it?

[@zacjames4920]

Will this assembly fit on any 99-04 mustang ?

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

@@zacjames4920 yeah. 1994-1998 also bolts up but is not as wide

[@jangonzalez5627]

Why my 2000 mustang v6 lift up from rear when i get it on gear its an automatic transmission any help

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

JAN GONZALEZ because the car is trying to move forward as soon as it's in gear

[@jangonzalez5627]

Danny Johnson but its like a bad mount going on or bushings cause its a real strong pull either on R. Or D. gear

[@shawnlittrell6088]

Sounds like bad trans if it's only in reverse and drive

[@chambliziOfficialChannel]

Bolts

[@jaredtremaynerobinson2316]

Does anyone know if this is the same process for the 2005 to 2009 rear end? I’ve got a 07 v6 auto

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

Same process. The 05-09 (GT at least) has another sway bar in the rear called a pan hard bar, but just remove it as well.

[@bigmacattack1682]

Do you have any other social media? I have a couple questions

[@lovasky]

Yo Danny, do you know what's the stock hight of a new edge mustang? Cause I'm trying ether get coils or just springs but my car has some weird stance from the previous owner. I guess he chopped the stock springs and call it a day.

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

armando ocampo it is very common to cut the springs one full rotation to lower the car because they have a progressive spring rate and it's possible without completely jeopardizing the suspension. The stock height can vary between the GT, Mach 1, and cobra, but I'd just buy factory replacement springs (used) or some eibachs

[@lovasky]

Danny Johnson the thing is that in all four corners there's a different height. Like on front is 27'' and 25'' on the other side haha, so he didn't do a good job on that. So I'm planning on getting some springs but want to know the stock height so I know which ones to buy.

[@TrxvisMxller]

To be clear - the only thing holding the rear end in place are the control arms and strut/shocks? I am using a 94-2004 Mustang 8.8" for a classic resto-mod and I am about to weld brackets; I'm trying to clarify that I am not missing anything in order to get the geometry correct. Ive noticed in other modern 8.8s there are a few extras - so any clarification would be much appreciated. Appreciate it.

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

Yes, just the control arms and suspension. Keep in mind the 94-98 axle is about and inch shorter on each side than the 99-04 housing. You will have a sway bar connecting both lower control arms as well

[@MrSlowestD16]

Any particular reason you have the diff cover off? I need to do a bunch of shit to the rear end of mine and one of the items is a wheel bearing. My driveway isn't flat so I can't fill the diff up properly while it's in the car - I'm hoping to fill it up when I'm done with the rest of the maintenance while it's still on the ground and I can make sure it's level, then putting it up in the car and not having to do anything else to it.

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

It was part of my gear install. Have a look at this playlist kzbin.info/aero/PLIjr-uSYDZi5fnxxp6D9MO7_QlTzizaUf

[@MrSlowestD16]

@Cousin Jimmy Farha Yeah I somehow didn't even think of them when I wrote that. Kinda a facepalm moment, haha.

[@abdulhassan1107]

Respect ✊

[@ELBOHOS]

What happened? I'm watching and you're doing the repair on the car and then all of the sudden the axle's out and up on tires.

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

It’s from my gear install playlist kzbin.info/aero/PLIjr-uSYDZi5fnxxp6D9MO7_QlTzizaUf

[@ronadkins2789]

9:30 lol stabilizer strut .....u mean quad shock

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

sure. It reduces axle wind up and prevents wheel hop...it stabilizes.

[@merep5029]

Hello, I dont know if I missed the exact name but could you tell me what the part your assistant is holding when you said front of axle and what’s it’s purpose? Lol I tried to google front of axle but that part didn’t come out in any pictures. Thanks for any info.

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

Mere P Give me a time in the video so I know what you’re referring to

[@merep5029]

Danny Johnson 14:43.... on my 98 mustang it’s loose.. idk how important is it. Any advice? Thanks

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

Mere P It’s just a dampener to absorbe vibrations. Many people remove them without any problems

[@merep5029]

Danny Johnson awesome thanks. I don’t have any men in my life to help a girl out. All I got was they had no clue..Lol I’m slowly but surely fixing up my baby. Thank you!!

Dude you need some better control arms in the rear.
