We want your thoughts and comments below. What kind of project are you working on? What Mustang are you daily driving?

Alf's Mustang Garage is not responsible for any mechanical or technical error that you may encounter when working on your own car. You are responsible for your own quality control and your own proper repairs.

Today at Alf's Mustang Garage we bring in a 65 Mustang Fastback with a rear differential howling. Turns out the pinion bearing pre-load is too loose and needs to be reset. We remove the pinion support from the third member, replace the crush sleeve and set the pre-load. This is all done on a 8" Ford.
