Replace gear box
They do not sell individual parts for the differential. Get the whole thing at a junk yard. Oodles of Fords fit this one. The junk yard may install it for you.

I have a 99 mustang. I went to put it in first and drive and I heard a clucking and grinding noise coming from the rear end I'm a girl and would just Like to know what the problem is....please help
If the noise is coming from below the trunk area(by the rear wheels), It may be that the differential is probably going bad and the grinding is coming from inside the differential. Inside the differential are gears and they will grind and cluck if they are going bad or bad. The car may or may not move depending on the damage inside the differential.

965 Ford Mustang 2+2 fastback. I noticed a hose hanging rear
The hose is likely the differential vent hose. If you get under there and take a look around the rear end you will likely see where it was originally secured.

Noise in the rear end, not the brakes as I've checked them of a 2004 40th anniversary V6 Mustang. Has anyone ever had this before as the shop that I'm taking it to tomorrow seemed to know exactly what the...
Hello. I can assist you. Rear end noise is typically from one of three things: a bad or poorly balanced rear tire, the differential, or a bad U joint.

I have a 2000 mustang and the rear end is going out can a 1997 rear in fit it?
It should fit without any problem. why do you think yours is going out? Is it whining? IF so, check the oil level in it. there should be a plug on the back of the differential. Pull the plug and fill it with gear oil until it trickles out of hole.
