Description
This is a chrome steel differential cover built for Ford 7.5" 10-bolt rear axle housings — the compact rear end used across a wide range of Ford rear-wheel-drive applications from the late 1970s through the mid-1990s. It's a direct-fit replacement for the factory differential cover on compatible Ford 7.5" axle housings, commonly found in Fox Body Mustang, Ford Ranger, Ford Thunderbird, and Mercury Cougar builds.
Steel construction with a chrome finish gives this cover durable housing protection and a clean appearance for builds where axle aesthetics matter. It's a common replacement for a leaking, cracked, or damaged factory cover on street, restoration, and light performance Ford builds running a stock or mildly modified 7.5" rear end.
A drain plug, gasket, and mounting hardware are not included — confirm your gasket style (cut gasket or RTV), fill plug configuration, and suspension clearance before installation. Always verify your specific axle model and housing shape before ordering. Sold individually.
Chrome Steel Cover Built for Ford 7.5" 10-Bolt Axle Housings
Manufactured from steel with a chrome finish, this differential cover is sized and bolted for Ford 7.5" 10-bolt rear axle housings, giving you a durable, clean-looking replacement for a leaking or damaged factory cover.
Stops Leaks and Protects Gear Oil on Street and Restoration Builds
A cracked, warped, or leaking differential cover can allow gear oil to escape, leading to insufficient lubrication and accelerated ring and pinion wear. This chrome steel cover helps restore a solid seal on compatible Ford 7.5" housings, protecting gear oil and rear end internals.
