Fitment Notes

  • Fits Ford 8.8 in. solid rear axle differentials - does not fit 2015 and newer Ford 8.8 in. Super applications (12-bolt cover); use CK F8.8-SUPER for those
  • Does not fit Ford F-150 Lightning or higher GVWR models equipped with the Ford 9.75 in. rear axle
  • Does not fit IRS (independent rear suspension) variants such as the 1999-2004 Mustang Cobra or later Explorer/Expedition IRS applications
  • This is a carrier installation kit - ring and pinion gears, positraction unit, and locker are sold separately
  • Ideal for use when upgrading to a positraction, limited slip, mechanical locker, or air locker without a full differential rebuild

Features

  • Convenient low-cost carrier installation kit designed specifically for the Ford 8.8 in. rear differential platform
  • Timken carrier bearings and races included for precision fit and long-term durability
  • Complete carrier shim kit included for accurate side bearing preload and backlash setup
  • Ideal solution for positraction, limited slip, or locker upgrade installations without the cost of a full master overhaul kit
  • Covers one of the broadest Ford 8.8 in. fitment ranges available - from classic Fox Body Mustangs through modern trucks and SUVs
  • All components selected and verified by Yukon's engineering team for correct application fit
  • Backed by Yukon Gear & Axle's 1-year warranty against manufacturer defects

Product Description

The Yukon Gear & Axle CK F8.8 is a carrier installation kit built for the Ford 8.8 in. solid rear axle differential. It includes Timken carrier bearings and races along with a complete shim kit - everything needed to properly seat and preload a differential carrier during a locker, positraction, or limited slip upgrade. This kit is the smart, cost-effective alternative to a full master overhaul when the pinion bearings are still in good condition and do not need replacement.

Spanning decades of Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, and Mazda vehicles built around the Ford 8.8 in. platform - from the Mustang, F-150, and Bronco to the Crown Victoria, Expedition, Explorer, Town Car, and Navigator - this kit is a go-to for shops and builders working across the entire 8.8 in. ecosystem. For 2015 and newer Ford 8.8 in. Super differentials (12-bolt cover), use the Yukon CK F8.8-SUPER instead.
