F-Body Housing - Which to use???

Chipper Chapman · 07-18-2013, 11:47 PM

Will be purchasing a 12 bolt for 97 Camaro stocker in the near future. My choices are Strange or Moser, as I'll be passing through illinois I will be getting one on the way. Is there a preference between the two? Thanks

No issues with my moser, and they are big time sportsman racing supporters

My Moser has been fine for five years.

I have two of each (1 each in race cars and 1 each in street cars). The only difference between the two is Strange uses what looks like a factory shock/lower control arm bracket. And Moser uses a piece that they make in house. The Strange units have through bolts that hold the torque arm on and the Moser units use 4 short bolts. I have had good luck and zero failures with both brands. The only thing I would suggest is that if you go with the Strange unit tell them you want it set up for the Ford Axle bearing instead of the tapered bearing that they sometimes use.

Strange pays for "Perfectly Strange" Money at Nat Meets.

I don't think you can go wrong with either one and one isn't going to be any better than the other. I have a Strange I ordered complete with brakes and have had zero problems. I will say that I ordered it from Edmond Richardson and he was cheaper than anyone else. You can get one from him as well.
