Remanufactured Axle Assembly 3.92 Ratio Posi Traction

The Zumbrota Drivetrain RAA435-1996C is a remanufactured complete axle assembly engineered for durability and reliability. This unit is built for Chrysler 8.25-inch axles and features a 3.92 gear ratio for optimized performance in 2WD applications without a sway bar, including Posi Traction limited-slip differential capabilities. During the remanufacturing process, Zumbrota Drivetrain meticulously inspects each axle assembly for straightness, cracks, and surface wear. All internal components, including ring and pinions, internal gears, clutches, and carriers, undergo thorough inspection and testing. Crucially, all bearings, seals, crush sleeves, pinion nuts, and shims are replaced with new components to ensure longevity and proper function. The gears are inspected for optimal tooth contact patterns, and correct rolling torque is established using precise inch-pound measurements for setup and longevity. Gear backlash is set to ensure proper lubrication and quiet operation. Zumbrota employs an exclusive hydro-blast rinse and sandblasting procedure on internal and external parts, followed by a proprietary shot-enticed deep cleaning process. This advanced cleaning method prepares the components to OEM finish standards, setting a benchmark for axle assembly remanufacturing. The axle tubes are also inspected to ensure they meet OEM standards for straightness. This specific axle assembly is designed for 2000-2002 Dodge Dakota models with 2WD and without a sway bar. It's important to note that this assembly does not include hubs, brakes, backing plates, or axle shafts; these components will need to be sourced separately.
