 Live Axle 5 Lug Brake Upgrade
This tip started with a broken 8.8 rearend: My '89 LX had spun the splines off the right axle shaft, so on the usual minimal budget to repair and get back on the road, I spent a day going through the salvage yard looking for parts.
I grabbed two driver-side axles (the passenger-side axle is too short), drums, and side gears, and began to repair my broken rear axle.
So, to summarize: To convert from four-lug to five-lug on '87-'93 Mustangs, get two driver-side axles and two five-lug drums from the rear of a Ranger pickup (this is the same as the Motorsport kit M-1126A, but the price I paid is nowhere near the kit's $227 list).
