Performance Eng FLAXFORD88 Flanged Rear Axle Shaft for Ford 8.8in Crown Victoria

The Performance Engineering & Manufacturing FLAXFORD88 is a flanged rear axle shaft designed as a direct replacement for the Ford 8.8-inch differential as used in the Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis. This flanged axle design improves on the factory C-clip retention method by securing the axle shaft at the outer end, helping to keep the axle in the housing in the event of a failure.

Key Features:

• Flanged axle design — eliminates the factory C-clip retention, improving safety and axle retention
• Engineered specifically for the Ford 8.8-inch rear differential as found in the Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis
• Built by Performance Engineering & Manufacturing (PEM), a specialist manufacturer of high-performance rear-end components
• Designed to work with PEM's flanged axle bearing and hub systems for the Ford 8.8 platform
• Sold individually — verify left or right side application before ordering

The Ford 8.8-inch rear end is one of the most widely used rear axle platforms in Ford's lineup, and the Crown Victoria application features a wide-track housing with a zero-offset center section. Upgrading to a flanged axle setup from Performance Engineering & Manufacturing is a popular choice for performance builds, restorations, and any application where improved axle retention over the factory C-clip design is desired.
