Remanufactured Axle Assembly, 3.73 Gear Ratio

The Zumbrota Drivetrain RAA435-2098C is a remanufactured axle assembly engineered for GM 7.5-inch differentials, featuring a 3.73 gear ratio and built for 1998-2003 Chevy S10 and S15 4x4 vehicles. This semi-floating axle assembly comes with a cover included, but fluid is not provided. Each axle assembly is rebuilt to exacting standards, ensuring precision and reliability. The remanufacturing process involves thorough inspection of axle tubes for OEM straightness, and housings are checked for surface wear and cracks. Internally, all components, including ring & pinions, internal gears, clutches, and carriers, undergo a 100% inspection. To guarantee optimal performance and longevity, all bearings, seals, crush sleeves, pinion nuts, and shims are replaced. Gears are meticulously set for ideal tooth contact patterns and correct rolling torque, measured in inch-pounds, with proper backlash established for smooth, quiet operation and effective lubrication. Zumbrota utilizes an exclusive hydro-blast rinse and sandblasting procedure on both internal and external parts, followed by a proprietary shot-enticed deep cleaning process. This comprehensive cleaning method restores the housings to an OEM finish, setting a high standard for remanufactured axle assemblies.
