Title: need a dogbone for 8.8 rear (98 cobra are all 8.8 the same?)
Post by: Bob on August 27, 2015, 06:55:30 PM
I'm swapping a tranny for a 98 Cobra for someone and I noticed that the dogbone on the rear is bouncing all over the place when I was taking off the driveshaft. So I'm looking for one

thanks

The weight on a 8.8 rear that's shaped like a dog bone.. It has something to do with harmonic damping of the drivetrain frequency that occurs in the drivetrain.. There's a paper written that explains it..written by Jerry the ford engineer responsible for the j-mod..

my source thread (post #14).. hope it's good info, would hate to be that guy(lol).

Sorry I miss your post somehow. 

It's the dogbone weight in the picture. Send me a paypal price for everything that the weight uses to bolt on the rear (nuts, bolts.. etc) shipped to 19102.

thanks,

Bob
