The stock 10 Bolts died on me one too many times.  After replacing it with other 10 bolts 3 X since the cam upgrade, I decide to upgrade to a Moser 9" for f-bodies.  Here are some specs of the Moser 9".

Detroit Truetrac posi with 4.11 gear - Welded sway bar brackets - Welded LCA relocation brackets - Fill and drain plugs - NO ABS and TCS - Aluminum center case - 31 splines.  The Hawk had 125270 KM's when I put the 9".

 

This is the last rear en I had on the car. The 4.10 gear and pinion gear broke. Fedup, I purchase the following Moser 9".

While I changed the oil after the break in period, I noticed a little problem. I really need to get a new adjustable LCA to replace the one seized.

The UMI Adj. LCA just arrived. Final touch to the rear adjustement. Now ready to beat on it. Interesting comparison between both product. Oct 08
