Description

The Zumbrota Drivetrain RAA435-1698J-P is a remanufactured axle assembly specifically designed for 1994-1997 Ford Ranger models equipped with 10-inch rear brakes. This axle assembly features a 7.5-inch ring gear and a 3.73 gear ratio, incorporating a Posi Traction Limited Slip Differential for enhanced performance. Zumbrota Drivetrain meticulously rebuilds each unit to the highest quality standards. The process involves thorough inspection of axle tubes for straightness, and all internal components—including ring and pinions, gears, clutches, and carriers—are inspected and tested for wear and performance. During the remanufacturing process, all bearings and seals are replaced with new ones. Gears are carefully inspected for optimal tooth contact patterns, and correct rolling torque and backlash are set using precise measurements to ensure proper gear lubrication, quiet operation, and extended longevity. Zumbrota also employs an exclusive hydro-blast rinse and sandblasting procedure, followed by a proprietary shot-peened deep cleaning process, which sets a high standard for axle assembly remanufacturing. This assembly includes a new differential cover, but does not include differential fluid. It is built to Ford's specifications and is identified by Hollander number 435-1698J-P.
