Reman Rear Axle Assembly 3.42 Ratio

The Zumbrota Drivetrain RAA435-1828 is a remanufactured axle assembly specifically designed for the GM 8.5-inch rear axle found in 1995-1997 Chevrolet S10 Blazers and GMC S15 Jimmys equipped with 2WD drivetrains and a 3.42 gear ratio. This axle assembly is rebuilt with a focus on quality and longevity. During the remanufacturing process, all axle tubes are inspected and straightened to meet Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) specifications. Housings are thoroughly tested for any surface wear or cracks to ensure structural integrity. Internally, every component, including the ring and pinion gears, differential gears, clutch packs, and carrier, undergoes a 100% inspection. To guarantee optimal performance and a long service life, all bearings, seals, crush sleeves, pinion nuts, and shims are replaced with new parts. Furthermore, the cleaning process utilizes state-of-the-art hydro blasting and rinsing techniques, restoring the housing to an OEM finish. Precision setup is achieved by establishing the correct rolling torque using inch-pound measurements, ensuring accurate gear meshing and minimizing premature wear. This attention to detail in remanufacturing provides a reliable and durable replacement for your vehicle's rear axle system.
