Rear Shock Absorbers (see below - sold as each)
Spax TA series shocks utilize a non pressurized gas over oil
design with external adjustment valve (external screw in bottom)
for fine tuning the dampening to suit individual applications.
Spax is England's largest and best known manufacturer of
performance shock absorbers.M402A
Spax Sport One of the most popular shocks we sell, Spax fixed
rate gas sport shocks are an excellent choice for upgrading the
handling performance on the XR.M402V
Bilstein New for 2000. Bilstein's new sprint series gas shocks
offer the big B's renowned German made performance at a
very attractive price. Bilstein shocks are now available in our
suspension kits see page 3 for details.M402B
Rally Sport Super-Gas made to European Ford spec. by Koni
of Holland. R/S shocks feature mono-tube high pressure design and
have 4 adjustable rebound (STD., +20%, +50%, +100%) settings
which can be tailored to suit individual applications.
M402RS
Boge Turbo-Gas shocks are a German manufactured twin
tube high pressure gas design utilizing a unique variable
valving system that insures the perfect balance between
ride comfort and road holding capability.M402S
DeCarbon French made mono tube high pressure gas shocks
with fairly sporty valving, similar in design to Bilstein. M402G
KYB Gas-Adjust shocks are well made, heavy duty
dampeners that are the least expensive performance shock
upgrade for the XR4. Handling is improved without
sacrificing ride quality.M402Y

pA Constant Velocity Joints & Boots The Merkur XR4Ti and Scorpio
independent rear axle assemblys utilize half shafts that have inner and outer constant
velocity joints. Eventually these joints and protective boots will require service. We
have joints and boots available separately making it economical to replace just the
worn component without having to replace whole axle assembly. However, if more
than one C.V. per axle requires service, our complete axle assembly is the more cost
effictive way to go.
Note: right/left inboard and outboard C.V. joints and boots are
interchangeable- see price list for complete axle prices (handed left & right)

Rubber Drive Shaft Coupling The rubber "Drive Donut" or "Rotoflex
Coupling" on the XR4 and Scorpio drive shaft can be a real bugger. Many owners
have contacted us after being quoted up to 500.00 to totally replace the complete
drive shaft assembly by the local Ford L/M dealer, as they do NOT list the rubber
drive coupling as a separate service part. We import the proper replacement
drive coupling and make it available at considerable savings to you. If your car
exhibits a driveline shudder that increases with speed, (especially noticeable in
colder weather) we recommend taking a close look at the condition of the drive
coupling. Cracks in the rubber or missing pieces will require immediate replace-
ment, loosing one of these joints at speed will be very messy !
Note: BAT supplies
the standard equipment XR4i drive coupling by the original supplier to Ford. This
is not a lesser "fits all" component that just happens to be similar.

Quaife Torque Biasing Differential Quaife torque biasing
differentials provide a constant and infinitely variable output to both rear
wheels. These unique differentials utilize a series of helical gears which
sense the amount of applied torque and adjust automatically for loss of
traction. The Quaife limited slip design is also free of high wear items
(clutches, ratchets and plates), making them stronger and more maintenance
free than other types of limited slip units. Anyone who has had the pleasure
of driving a vehicle equipped with a Quaife LSD will immediately comment on
its smooth seamless performance, very unlike clutch/plate type LSD's which
exhibit a notchy ratchet like take up through the drive line. The Quaife LSD
that we offer is originally designed as a replacement upgrade for the Sierra
Cosworth and are now supplied with output flanges tapped for either the large
108mm (Cosworth size) or smaller 100mm (XR4 size) C.V. joints.

Clutch Kits We have a very good selection of clutch packages that include
clutch disk, pressure plate, throw out bearing, and clutch alignment tools. Buying one
of our engineered kits will guarantee best quality, performance, fitment (ease of
installation) and price. First option is a new (not rebuilt or re-lined) O.E. quality
replacement clutch kit by Sachs/Valeo. This clutch is best suited for standard or
slightly modified cars being used under normal driving conditions. If your requirements
are beyond the capabilities of the standard clutch we also have some heavy duty clutch
kit options. H.D. clutch kits include pressure plates that have increased clamping force
(from 30 to 50%) and clutch disks with high temperature friction materials applied.
Centerforce H.D. clutch kits have a unique centrifugal pressure plate design with
substantially more clamping force but requires very little pedal pressure over the stock
clutch.
Note: all kits are for standard transmission 1" 23 spline except where noted.

Transmission & Related Components
pHShifter- A serious short throw competition gear lever
featuring a robust large diameter shaft placed within a
spherical bearing. The all metal construction will cause
additional transmitted noise but this is a small penalty to
pay against the strength, speed and quality of the gear
change achieved. M717
pIGear Oil- Torco synthetic gear oil is designed to
withstand tremendous heat and provide extreme anti-
score protection under high torque "shock loading"
conditions. That is why most Indy car and drag race teams
rely on Torco protection. Torco SAE 75w90 gear oil is GL-
6 rated and includes limited slip additives. Great for both
transmission and differential applications. Torco synthetic
gear oil greatly improves the shift "feel" of T9 transmission,
shifting becomes light and precise, almost like a tune-up in
a bottle. Notes: transmission will require 2 quarts (2.25 to
3.34 pint capacity depending on year) and rear axle 1 quart
(1.6 pint capacity) Gear oil not for T5 transmissions (use
ATF type fluid). C2S
pJQuadrant & Pawl Kit- When the clutch pedal "ratchet
adjuster" wears out it contributes to poor pedal feel and an
annoying clicking noise. Renewing the quadrant and pawl with
this handy kit will alleviate the problem. M368
pK Rebuilt T9 Transmissions- Highest quality factory
certified remanufactured T9 transmissions with European
gear ratios (3.65:1, 1.97:1, 1.37:1, 1.00:1, 0.82:1). M700

pG Short Shift Kit- If anything can be added to enhance
the "link" between driver and transmission while rowing through
the gears on the XR4 or Scorpio 5-speed this is it. We have a
dynamite quick shift kit that fits standard T9 Hummer transmis-
sions. If you like the shifter "feel" on Hurst equipped Mustang
GT, this kit offers similar results. Customers often remark that
this shift kit is one of the best modifications that they have made
to their cars, especially considering the price and ease of
installation. Just think about how many gear changes you make
in a day, let alone a week, or year. Shouldn't every shift be quick,
light and precise? M715
