Remanufactured Axle Assembly w/ 3.55 Ratio, 31 Spline

The Zumbrota Drivetrain RAA435-1692B is a remanufactured axle assembly designed for the Ford 8.8-inch differential, specifically for 1992-1996 Ford E150 models. It comes equipped with a 3.55 gear ratio and a Posi Traction limited-slip differential for enhanced performance. Each Zumbrota axle assembly undergoes a rigorous remanufacturing process to ensure precision and reliability. This includes a comprehensive inspection of all internal components—ring and pinions, gears, clutches, and carriers—as well as checking axle tubes for straightness. All bearings and seals are replaced with new parts. The gears are meticulously set up, with backlash adjusted for proper lubrication and quiet operation, and rolling torque is precisely established using inch-pound measurements for longevity. Zumbrota's exclusive cleaning process involves hydro-blasting, rinsing, and sandblasting, followed by a proprietary shot-peening deep clean, setting a high standard for remanufactured axle assemblies. The assembly includes the differential cover and features 31 spline semi-float axles. Please note that while this unit includes the cover, it does not include fluid, hubs, brakes, backing plates, or axle shafts. Some sources indicate this specific assembly is designed without Posi Traction, while others confirm it features Posi Traction; confirm compatibility before purchase. It is built to order and may have specific return or cancellation restrictions.
