Pinion snubber on an 8-1/4?

[MB43]

I took a peek under my car and noticed something sitting up on top of the front of my 8-1/4... a pinion snubber? I had no idea it was there, and didn't know they were ever made for this rear?

Anybody have an info on that?

yep, even 7 1/4's got 'em.

Mopar only has part #'s for 8 3/4 & Dana 60. Will either of these work 8 1/4?

Hey Mikel,
Have you tried running it without the snubber yet. If its hitting when you come off the line it may be taking a little et. from you. Most of the articles and people I talk to with SS springs say don't run a snubber.

Nope. I never even noticed that it was there!

It's pretty far away from the floor, I don't know if it's even making contact when I launch. I'll take a closer look at it this weekend.

The 8 1/4" rear I put in my 68 Barracuda did not have a snubber on it. The one that was on the 7 1/4 I removed fit and is currently on the rear end. In the box of spare parts I got from the PO with the car is the MP adjustable snubber, this fits either the 7 1/4 or the 8 1/4.

my 8 1/4" rear has a stock non adjustable snubber, and it hits the floor HARD even on the street, just have a look at the floor just above the snubber and ju will probably see where it hits the floor ;)
