3.27 Ratio 7.562" Ring Gear Remanufactured Axle Assembly

The Zumbrota Drivetrain RAA440-1348A is a remanufactured complete axle assembly specifically designed for the Ford M35 Independent Front Suspension (IFS) system, featuring a 3.27 gear ratio and a 7.562-inch ring gear. Each axle assembly is rebuilt to rigorous quality standards, emphasizing precision and long-term reliability. The remanufacturing process involves a comprehensive inspection of all components. This includes checking axle housings for straightness, cracks, and surface wear. Internally, ring and pinions, gears, clutches, and carriers are thoroughly inspected and tested. To ensure optimal performance and durability, all bearings, seals, crush sleeves, pinion nuts, and shims are replaced. The gears are meticulously set for proper tooth contact patterns and correct rolling torque, using inch-pound measurements for precise setup and longevity. Gear backlash is adjusted to ensure adequate lubrication and quiet operation, while axle tubes are verified to meet OEM standards for straightness. Zumbrota Drivetrain employs an exclusive cleaning procedure that includes hydro-blasting, rinsing, and sandblasting of internal and external parts, followed by a proprietary shot-peening deep cleaning process. This advanced cleaning method sets a high standard for axle assembly remanufacturing, bringing cases back to their original OEM finish. Units are shipped in high-density plastic totes to minimize the risk of in-transit damage. This axle assembly comes with a 2-year limited warranty.
