Product Description

The BMR BK079 8.8" Differential Bearing Kit is engineered to upgrade the rear differential connection on 2005-2014 Ford Mustang S197 models. The stock differential mounting system relies on rubber bushings that can allow excessive movement under high torque or aggressive acceleration. This bearing kit replaces the soft rubber interface with heavy-duty Teflon-lined spherical bearings and CNC-machined stainless steel housings, significantly reducing deflection and improving drivetrain response.

This upgrade is ideal for performance enthusiasts seeking improved traction, reduced wheel hop, and better rear-end stability on street, drag, or handling applications. Installation is straightforward using standard hand tools and typically takes a few hours. Designed specifically for the 8.8" differential found on S197 Mustangs, this bearing kit provides a more direct and controlled connection while maintaining durability for daily driving and spirited use. Fitment confirmed for 2005-2014 Mustangs; coverage beyond 2014 is not applicable.
