7.5" 3.45 Posi Limited Slip Differential Axle Assembly

The Zumbrota RAA435-1698D-P is a remanufactured axle assembly, specifically designed for the Ford 7.5-inch differential found in 1994-1997 Ford Ranger models. This unit comes equipped with a 3.45 gear ratio and a Posi Limited Slip Differential (LSD) for enhanced traction. Each axle assembly from Zumbrota Drivetrain undergoes a rigorous remanufacturing process. This includes thorough inspection for straightness, cracks, and surface wear. All internal components, such as ring and pinions, clutches, and carriers, are meticulously inspected and tested. To ensure optimal performance and longevity, all bearings and seals are replaced, and gears are set with precise backlash for proper lubrication and quiet operation. The axle tubes are also inspected to meet OEM standards for straightness. The remanufacturing process includes an exclusive hydro-blast rinse and sandblasting procedure, followed by a proprietary shot-enticed deep cleaning, which Zumbrota states sets the standard for axle assembly remanufacturing. This assembly features a 7.5-inch ring gear, is Ford-built, and comes with 9-inch brakes. The cover is included, but fluid is not. Note that this specific part number, RAA435-1698D-P, is designated for models with Posi Traction. A closely related part, RAA435-1698D, may be listed for models without Posi Traction. Always verify compatibility with your specific vehicle configuration. This item is special ordered and may have return restrictions.
