This unit is equipped with a 3.73 gear ratio, a robust 8.8-inch ring gear, and 9-inch drum brakes, incorporating a Posi Traction (Limited Slip Differential) for enhanced traction.\n\nEach Zumbrota axle assembly is meticulously rebuilt to high standards of precision and reliability. The process involves a comprehensive inspection of the housing for straightness, cracks, and surface wear. Internally, all components, including the ring and pinion gears, clutch packs, and carrier, undergo rigorous testing. To ensure longevity and optimal performance, all bearings, seals, crush sleeves, pinion nuts, and shims are replaced with new parts. Gears are carefully inspected for proper tooth contact patterns and set to correct rolling torque using inch-pound measurements.\n\nZumbrota Drivetrain employs an exclusive cleaning process that includes hydro-blast rinsing and sandblasting, followed by a proprietary shot-peening deep cleaning. This extensive remanufacturing ensures that the axle assembly meets or exceeds OEM specifications for straightness, gear lubrication, and quiet operation. The assembly is precisely set to the correct gear backlash to guarantee proper performance and reduce wear.\n\nThis axle assembly does not include hubs, brakes, backing plates, or axle shafts, which must be sourced separately. It is built to order and comes with a 2-year limited warranty.","brand":"Zumbrota Drivetrain","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52870799786296,"sku":"RAA435-1931E-P","price":1345.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/remanufactured-complete-axle-assembly-3-73-ratio-8-8-ring-gear","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
