We never took the cam out of the car, it is what was in it when we dragged the POS home. It's bark is much worse than it bite. On Wed, Oct 1, 2008 at 9:25 AM,...

The 7.5 and 8.8 axles and brake hardware are all interchangable and they're pretty cheap at the junkyard from a ranger/aerostar. I just threw a set of 5-lug...
