CobraReddy,

I have a Versailles rear end in a CR. Setup employs an Auburn Pro Diff, Moser axles, CR lower control arms and double adjustable upper arms from Steeda. I also run a sway bar from a 4 cylinder Mustang. The supplied CR sway bar is way too big and resulted in too much oversteer. I open track this car 6-8 times a year. I had an issue with the rear moving side to side more than I liked. The replacement of the stock Mustang upper control arms with the Steeda units helped tremendously. I thing the stock bushings coupled with the flex of the arms were just not up to task. In addition, the steeda arms can be adjused to set pinion angle and even shorten / lengthen one side to move the rear into proper alignment if needed. This is not the best solution for centering a rearend as it could possibly add more bind, but it does work. If I were you, I would go to a junk yard or even a rearend shop and take measurements of a stock 8.8 to see if you brackets are correct. There are a whole lot of Mustangs out there. Good Luck
