Complete Axle Assembly 3.55 Ratio 12-Bolt Cover

The Zumbrota Drivetrain RAA435-1999A is a remanufactured complete axle assembly designed for Chrysler 9.25-inch rear axles found in 2000-2002 Dodge Dakota 4x4 models. This assembly is rebuilt to stringent quality standards, ensuring precision and reliability. It includes a 3.55 gear ratio, a 12-bolt hexagon cover, and features Posi Traction for enhanced grip. The assembly is intended for vehicles with 9-inch x 2.5-inch brakes. During the remanufacturing process, each axle assembly undergoes a thorough inspection. This includes checking for straightness, cracks, and surface wear on the housing and tubes. All internal components, such as ring and pinions, internal gears, clutches, and carriers, are meticulously inspected and tested. Zumbrota Drivetrain replaces all bearings, seals, crush sleeves, pinion nuts, and shims with new parts to guarantee longevity and proper function. The gears are set with precise backlash and rolling torque measurements for optimal tooth contact and quiet operation. Zumbrota utilizes an exclusive hydro-blast rinse and sandblasting procedure, followed by a proprietary deep cleaning process, to restore housings to an OEM finish and ensure they meet OEM standards for straightness. It is important to note that this assembly does not include hubs, brakes, backing plates, or axle shafts, which must be sourced separately.
