Are you happy with your moser 9 inch?

I wonder how many people that do not read this forum have had a problem? We can sit here and argue odds and polls till the cows come home. There seems to be a fair number of people, just on this site alone, that have had a common problem. Excessive whine from a Moser. Would you agree?

Mine has been in for 10 days now, the gears are quiet as when it was stock, took about a week to get everything adjusted/grinded off. I've had this car 8 years been thru 4 sets of gears, two differntials and one broken axle, Bob was a pleasure to deal with, the rear went in as advertised and the little things can be figured out pretty easily, my only regret is I should have done this a couple thousand dollars ago i.e. 10 bolts and ls-1'S don't mix. yea 4.11's are fun but I almost feel bad about the extra set of gears I always carried in my trunk that I sold this weekend.

I've had my 9" for six months with over 6,000 hard miles with a mcleod twin. Quiet as the stock 10 bolt. I got mine from Bob@ EPP, the cheapest and he will do everything he can to help you if something should go wrong.
Bob, did you happen to get those axle seals out yet? Thanks

I've had nothing but issues with mine since I installed it last spring. Scott at DLS did the gears, they whine a little bit but I have a tunnel mounted t/a and it's quieter than my 10 bolt was. My problem is the dumb thing hasn't fit right. It pushed the front of the t/a 3" ahead of where it should have been. I had to shorten my torque arm, shorten my already adjustable control arms(which I had to buy because the rear was so cocked with the 9" and hotchkis lcas) and I still can't get rid of the wheel hop I've had since the install. I put 5k miles on it last year and adjusted everything everyway possible(every piece of my suspension is adjustable and yes, I have LCA brackets) and I still can't get it right. I had none of these issues with the 10 bolt. It's been in storage this winter, I'm hoping to tackle it again this week.

They are right that people who arent happy are more likely to say something... but from what ive heard.... If i get a moser i will more than likely check the pattern before running it... Enough said.

I would have to think that with Moser taking two days for a rear to be ready to ship, where Strange takes three to four weeks, means that there are a heck of a lot more Moser rears being sold.
(shopping rear ends right now)

Type in Strange rear end problems, and you will come up with quite a few people who have had problems with them. i would say 9 out of 10 people on here purchase Moser rears. I sell at least one Moser rear a day, sometime three to four a day, and I have very, very few problems with them. Bob

thanx Bob..first off, id like to say that your a great guy, always helping, and people here talk/know about that,,,
i took your challenge of searching...
moser rearend problems = 64 posts
strange rearend problems = 38
for ***** and giggles,,i thought i would try ...
moser problems = 966
strange problems (not a good search cause the use of the word strange) =853,,still less even with most threads talking about issues not related to Strange the Company...so that number would be even less.
like i said, you a great guy, and i have read many of your posts on issues that have helped me....but when folks are writing stuff like this...
https://ls1tech.com/forums/gears-axles/939955-moser-12-bolt-rear-problems.html (this is about the 2nd or 3rd thread in gears and axels today...),,and theres another one right next to it...
AND the fact that the moser comes in boxes, unassembeled (and untested) will leave me with a strange axel for my needs
im still researching, so at this point anything can happen,,but as of right now,,,im looking to go Strange. ..unless i find a hell of a deal on a used moser
thanx for your help Bob

I just got my moser 9" houseing/axles from EPP, so far everything (other then my screw-ups) has gone flawlessly, & the quality is superb, everything fell right into place, even the E brake cables, other then needing tabs for the brake lines (to hold them in place), i am very happy with it, I did have to get another Torque Arm, the Edelbrock unit wouldn't work.

We've installed Moser 9 inch rears on lowered cars, you just need to add a little clearance with a pry bar once you have the rear in place. It doesn't take much to do this, and you won't see where you have done this from inside the car. Bob
