I stripped my axle shafts in my 8.8, and need to replace them quick and cheap, are all 8.8 28 spline axle shafts the same? can i use the axle shafts from an older mustang? Please Help

 

[gearrat]

ok no not all 8.8's are the same the 28 spline are for cars and the 31's came in the trucks and bronco's.. iirc if not some one will correct me

Depends on what you are using them for. Some rangers had 8.8's with 28 spline (i'm pretty sure of that), but the differential is not centered on a ranger because of gas tank issues, so in a ranger 8.8, there are two different length shaft.

It depends on what your working on. If you have a Mustang, then you can use axles from the 7.5 and 8.8 rearends from 79-93. You can also use 2 passenger axles from a Ranger to do a rear 5 lug conversion on a Mustang/Fox body Ford. Let us know what you have and we can point you in the right direction.

I'm with gearrat on this, I thought all fullsize's and Bronco's had 31 spline in the 8.8's.

Aren't the passenger axles too short?

Im working on a 86 full-size bronoc and the axles i was going to replace the stripped pair with are ia pair of 28 spline Mustang axles from a 1989 Mustang GT 5.0 with an 8.8, Im pretty sure the stock ones were 28 spline, maybe i miss counted, i ll check later on today and get back with yall.

I could be wrong, it may be the Drivers axles. Either way, its 2 from the same side. :shrug

Thats why their stripped, Trucks/broncos use 31 spline, while the Mustang and other cars use 28 spline

 

[jopes]

if the splines got stripped I am pretty sure the splines in the carrier are fawked up as well

 

[Andy351]

how are mustang axles gonna be wide enough for a bronco? also, what jopes and welndmn said. 31 splines and your carrier is probably messed up too.

I already bought a new carrier for it from a buddy so thats already taken care of, i was just curious if mustang axles would work cause i could get a hold of a pair for prety cheap.
