03-04 Cobra - same as S197

[scspeedster]

I found a rear end I would like to use in my Hot rod Truck kit, it's for 03-04 Cobra - anyone know of that will work?
Appreciate any help or info, thanks

The S197 diff is wider and has a single upper link bushing.

I can assure you that rear end did not come from an 03/04 Cobra. It may fit one, but it would.replace the OE IRS.

I used a 2004 Mach 1 as a donor for my MK4 in 2011. The Mach 1 used a live axle as shown. I had to narrow mine so that I could use 315s out back. It is a good rear axle to use if you are going 3-link and willing to narrow it. It also has the ABS tone rings if ABS is of interest to you.
The Cobra has a IRS rear suspension as I recall, so that is not from the Cobra but more likely from the Mach 1 or possibly from the GT.
