    I had my rear end completely rebuilt by a local shop a few months ago. Used carrier from MustangEddy, new carbon fiber clutches, new spring, new axles, and new axle bearings. When I jack up drivers side rear, I can turn the rear wheel with a little bit of effort. it seems to me that it should take a little more effort to turn that rear wheel. I hope the shop didn't install the clutches incorrectly. I thought I read it should take about 200 ft/lbs of torque to break loose?

    Clutch differentials are always a temporary installation. Ford's 8.8" is somewhat durable, but always wearing out with use. In a 9", a clutch diff is just a waste of money, as they are not durable, especially compared to an 8.8".

    For the street, a Trutrac is the best option
