The rear-end that almost was.

Late model Ford Thunderbird, Lincoln LS, and Jaguar S-Types all share a common rear end. It is really cool, but just wouldn't work for me. It was too hard to narrow as much as I needed, and the wheel bolt pattern was wrong. It was 5 on 108mm, when I wanted 5 on 4.75 inches.

1. The arms are angled, so they could be moved in without changing the geometry much.		2. Disc brakes, sway bar, cool aluminum arms.
3. Has ABS too, but I wouldn't use that.		4. You can see the ABS pickup in the middle.
5. Single piston calipers.		6. I was measuring it for width.
7. E brake cables are rubber mounted.		8. Sway bar mounts.
9. Front mounting location.		10. Arms unbolted.
11. A view from side to side.		12. Sway bar mounts with covers.
13. Side stabilizer mounting point.		14. Pretty trick looking.
15. From the side.		16. Another.
17. The drive flange.		18. 8 inch rear end.
19. Where it mounts to the frame.		20. Tag that shows it's a 3.58 ratio.

The pictures got kind of out of order. It would have been a great rear end if the bolt pattern were different, it were easier to narrow, and the rear end was upgradable at all.
