- Direct-fit replacement for the stock 10-bolt pattern
- Filler plug and drain plug not included
Description
This chrome steel differential cover is a direct-fit replacement built for Ford 8.8" 10-bolt differential housings. Steel construction with a chrome finish replaces the factory cover, and this kit includes a gasket and mounting hardware so the cover installs using the stock 10-bolt pattern.
This cover matches the Ford 8.8" 10-bolt pattern only and does not include a drain plug or filler plug. Confirm your axle's housing shape, ring gear size, and fluid fill method before ordering — not every Ford 8.8" axle uses the same cover profile.
Fitment covers Ford 8.8" 10-bolt rear axles found in vehicles such as the Mustang, Crown Victoria, Fairlane, Torino, F-150, Explorer, and Ranger. This cover is built for 10-bolt Ford 8.8" applications and is not intended for other bolt patterns or housing shapes.
Applications
Fits Ford 8.8" 10-bolt rear differentials, commonly found on Ford Mustang (V8, 1986 and later), Crown Victoria, F-150, Explorer, and Ranger, and other Ford performance builds using an 8.8" 10-bolt rear axle.

Q&A
Does this kit include the gasket and hardware, or do I need to buy those separately?
This kit includes the gasket and mounting hardware, so you do not need to purchase them separately for installation.
Does this cover have a drain plug?
No — this cover does not include a drain plug or filler plug.
What vehicles commonly use this differential?
The Ford 8.8-inch 10-bolt rear axle is commonly found in applications such as 1986-and-later V8 Mustangs, Crown Victorias, F-150s, Explorers, and Rangers. Axle usage varies by year, model, and drivetrain, so verify your vehicle has an 8.8-inch 10-bolt housing before ordering.
Does axle location (front or rear) affect fitment?
No — fitment is determined by the 8.8-inch housing, 10-bolt pattern, and cover shape rather than axle location. Verify these dimensions and bolt pattern against your application.
Is this cover made of steel or aluminum?
This differential cover is made from steel with a chrome finish, not aluminum.
