62" WMS to WMS 8.8 axle

[pjesmer]

I picked up an 8.8 axle and didn't think to measure it until I got it home. The wms is 62" end to end. It was laready out of the vehicle when I got it so I am trying to figure out what it came out of. It's a 5 on 4.5 hub and looked to have coils on a swingarm. It has emergency brake lines that are about 2 feet long and disk brakes. Any help with this would be appreciated. I've been trying to figure it out for two weeks.

sounds like its out of a car , lincoln mark mabe.

I think it is but I'm looking to put it under a 93 yj. I want the little extra stance it provides without going to a full size axle. I need to find out what its out of to see if I can get 31 spline axle shafts for it or start looking for a different one.

Could be from a mustang. If it's discs it may be a turbocoupe or supercoupe [would probably have 3.55s if so] or a newer stang.

Are there any brackets on it? Suspension setup? I am assuming it is a 28 spliner?

62 is wide for a car, i would bet exploder before anything else

62" is too wide to be out of an Explorer.

[mooktank]

I would guess a thunderbird turbocoupe or some other wide car.

It's got 3.27 gears in it and 2 3/4 inch tubes. I'm thinking it might be out of a minivan. I know the Aerostars had them but I don't know if the windstars did.

Windstars are front wheel drive.:rolleyes:


I'll measure my Aerostar tomorow but 62" sounds kinda wide. Who knows, we'll see in the morning. It has coils in the back but no discs. I think it's out of a Grand Marquis or LTD. Oh wait, I have one of those too. I'll measure that as well.:shaking:
