"Now you can have your stock shafts machined for the 5-lug pattern, but as affordable and plentiful as new or used 5-lug axle shafts are these days, it makes more sense to search those out. Regardless of your model year 1983-88 and your rear end width, these axle shafts will directly swap into your Cougar's rear axle:

* 1994-98 Mustang-width axle shafts (~ 29 15/16", 7.5" or 8.8")
* 1983-92 Ford Ranger pickup axle shafts (2 driver's side, ~29 5/8")
* 1986-97 Ford Aerostar minivan (2 passenger side, ~29 5/8")."

the lincoln axles are 30 1/2"...overall length. i have read that '94-'98 mustang axles are the same length as '87-'88 turbocoupe axles but i have not verified it personally.
