{"product_id":"remanufactured-axle-assembly-3-42-ratio-2","title":"Remanufactured Axle Assembly 3.42 Ratio","description":"The Zumbrota Drivetrain RAA435-1965B is a meticulously remanufactured complete axle assembly built to exacting standards for GM 7.5-inch differentials. This unit is specifically designed for 1998-2003 Chevrolet S10 and GMC Sonoma 2WD models equipped with the ZQ8 chassis package, featuring a 3.42 gear ratio (GU6).\n\nDuring the remanufacturing process, each axle assembly undergoes thorough inspection for straightness, cracks, and surface wear. All internal components, including ring and pinions, internal gears, clutches, and carriers, are inspected and tested. Crucially, all bearings and seals are replaced, and gears are inspected for optimal tooth contact patterns and correct rolling torque, measured in inch-pounds for precision setup and longevity. The gear backlash is precisely set to ensure proper lubrication and quiet operation.\n\nZumbrota Drivetrain employs an exclusive hydro-blast rinse and sandblasting procedure, followed by a proprietary shot-peened deep cleaning process for both internal and external parts. This multi-stage cleaning ensures that housings are restored to OEM finish, setting a high standard for axle assembly remanufacturing. Axle tubes are also inspected and straightened to meet OEM specifications.\n\nIt is important to note that this specific axle assembly is designed without Posi Traction. Furthermore, it does not include essential components such as hubs, brakes, backing plates, or axle shafts, which must be sourced separately. This assembly is intended for vehicles with the ZQ8 chassis package; verification of compatibility is recommended.","brand":"Zumbrota Drivetrain","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52870805586232,"sku":"RAA435-1965B","price":3064.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/remanufactured-axle-assembly-3-42-ratio-2","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
