{"product_id":"complete-axle-assembly-3-73-ratio-1","title":"Complete Axle Assembly, 3.73 Ratio","description":"The Zumbrota Drivetrain RAA435-1831D is a remanufactured complete axle assembly specifically designed for Ford 8.8-inch differentials. This unit comes equipped with a 3.73 gear ratio, making it suitable for applications requiring precise gear performance. It is engineered for 1995 through 2001 Ford Explorer models, with the exclusion of the Sport Trac variant. This assembly is configured for differentials without Posi Traction.\n\nEach Zumbrota Drivetrain Axle Assembly is rebuilt to stringent quality standards. The remanufacturing process involves thorough inspection of all internal components, including ring and pinions, gears, clutches, and carriers. All bearings and seals are replaced, and gears are meticulously inspected for optimal tooth contact patterns and correct rolling torque, ensuring precise setup and longevity. Proper gear backlash is set for adequate lubrication and quiet operation. The axle tubes are inspected and straightened to OEM specifications, and housings are tested for wear and cracks. Zumbrota employs an exclusive hydro-blast rinse and sandblasting procedure, followed by a proprietary shot-peened deep cleaning process for superior internal and external part preparation.\n\nThis specific assembly includes brakes and backing plates, ready for installation. However, it is important to note that this product does not include hubs or axle shafts, which will need to be sourced separately if required for your application. The product is built to order and has a 2-year limited warranty.","brand":"Zumbrota Drivetrain","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52870783762744,"sku":"RAA435-1831D","price":1994.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/complete-axle-assembly-3-73-ratio-1","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
