{"product_id":"reman-complete-axle-assembly-3-73-ratio-rear-drum-posi-traction","title":"Reman Complete Axle Assembly 3.73 Ratio Rear Drum Posi Traction","description":"The Zumbrota Drivetrain Reman Complete Axle Assembly is a remanufactured differential component for Ford 8.8-inch ring gears, featuring a 3.73 gear ratio, rear drum brakes, and Posi Traction (LSD).\n\nEach axle assembly is rebuilt with meticulous attention to quality, ensuring precision and reliability. Internal components, including ring and pinions, internal gears, clutches, and carriers, undergo comprehensive inspection and testing. All bearings and seals are replaced as part of the remanufacturing process. The gears are meticulously inspected for optimal tooth contact patterns and set to the correct rolling torque using inch-pound measurements for maximum setup accuracy and longevity. Proper gear backlash is established to ensure adequate gear lubrication and quiet operation.\n\nAxle tubes are inspected to confirm they meet OEM standards for straightness. Zumbrota Drivetrain employs an exclusive hydro-blast rinse and sandblasting procedure on both internal and external parts, followed by a proprietary shot-peened deep cleaning process, which sets a high standard for axle assembly remanufacturing. All housings are also tested for surface wear and cracks.\n\nThis assembly is specifically designed for the 1998 Ford F-150 with a 3.73 ratio, rear drum brakes, and Posi Traction. It is important to check the tag number (S822B) to ensure compatibility. Please note that this assembly does not include hubs, brakes, backing plates, or axle shafts, which may need to be sourced separately.","brand":"Zumbrota Drivetrain","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52870835700024,"sku":"RAA435-2035-P","price":2457.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/reman-complete-axle-assembly-3-73-ratio-rear-drum-posi-traction","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
