Hey guys,
I have been trying to gather info on the probability of install a nine inch rearend in my 95 Z. I had and still have the opportunity to purchase a used one at a couple junk hards, but it isn't ready in the least to be camaro compatible.
Injuneer and a few others stated it would be easier and probably just as cheap to order from Moser or Currie, but I was wondering if I order, do the rears come with everything I need, such as: disk brake, torque arm, and LCA mounts? Will I lose my ABS if I order one from them? Can they include axles and bearings?
Do spring plates and all that come welded on, or how does that work?
I'm just not sure how all this works, but truly want to do this, if I'm going to build a rear end, I only want to do it once. Basically, can Moser or Currie build me a rearend with everything I need, all ready to install? Has anyone done this?
Thank you everybody.
Ben

 

I didn't buy mine complete, but I believe you can buy it so that the only thing you have to do it transfer your brakes to the new rear end and change your rear u-joint to mate with the nine inch. You would then have to install it of course. There would probably be some other minor things you may have to do. I have been using my stock torque arm for many miles (over 20,000) without any problems. I purchased just the housing and axles from Mosor and pieced together the rest on my own. In hind sight, I didn't save any money this way and if I did it again, I would probably just get the whole thing from them. Yes, you will loose your ABS although if you have TCS (traction control) you may be able to keep it. Actually, you can keep it anyway, I did, but you would have to fabracate all the pieces yourself. Most people don't seem to want to go through all the trouble. To answer some of your other question, the housing comes ready to bolt in, that is all the mounting brackets have already been welded on. You also get a Touque Arm mount, you will have to supply your own Torque Arm. Your best bet is to just give Mosor or Currie a call and they can help you deciede what would be best for you.

 

Hey man, thanks for the reply. I plan on giving them a call here pretty soon, but was just trying to get as much info. before hand. How exactly does the losing of the ABS work, is there any down falls to this? If you don't mind, how much did your setup of set you back?
Thanks
