Complete Axle Assembly, Dana 80

The Zumbrota Drivetrain RAA435-1887 is a remanufactured complete axle assembly, meticulously rebuilt to meet the highest standards of quality, precision, and reliability. This rear axle assembly is specifically designed for Dana 80 applications, featuring an 11.25-inch ring gear and a 4.63 gear ratio. It is configured for dual rear wheels (DRW) and includes an open differential. During the remanufacturing process, each axle assembly undergoes a thorough inspection for straightness, cracks, and surface wear. All internal components, including the ring and pinions, gears, clutches, and carriers, are inspected and tested. New bearings and seals are installed in every unit. Zumbrota ensures precise setup and longevity by carefully setting gear backlash for optimal lubrication and quiet operation, and verifying correct rolling torque with inch-pound measurements. Axle tubes are inspected to meet OEM straightness standards. A proprietary hydro-blast rinse, sandblasting, and shot-peening process is used for deep cleaning, setting a high standard for remanufactured axle assemblies. This axle assembly is compatible with 1996-2001 Ford E-450 and E-350 models, including variations like the Base trim and Super Duty configurations. It is crucial to confirm exact fitment for your specific vehicle year, model, and trim before placing an order to minimize the risk of ordering the wrong product. The seller's return policy acknowledges that fitment issues can arise, and they encourage customers to confirm compatibility with their team. If the sales team recommends an incompatible setup and it is confirmed, they will work to make the return process easier, potentially waiving restocking or return shipping fees, provided the item is in like-new condition.
