Remanufactured Complete Axle Assembly, 3.73 Ratio, GM 9.5-Inch, 8-Lug

The Zumbrota Drivetrain RAA435-1838B-P is a remanufactured complete axle assembly, precision-built for reliability. This unit features a 3.73 gear ratio for the GM 9.5-inch ring gear, specifically designed for 1995-1999 GM Suburban 1500 4x4 models with 8-lug semi-float axles and G80 Posi Traction. It is important to note that this assembly does not include hubs, brakes, backing plates, or axle shafts. Zumbrota Drivetrain's remanufacturing process involves rigorous inspection of all components. The axle tubes are checked for straightness to OEM specifications, and housings are tested for surface wear and cracks. Internally, all parts including the ring and pinion, gears, clutches, and carriers undergo a 100% inspection. To ensure longevity and performance, all bearings, seals, crush sleeves, pinion nuts, and shims are replaced. Gears are meticulously inspected for optimal tooth contact patterns and set to precise rolling torque using inch-pound measurements, with correct gear backlash established for proper lubrication and quiet operation. This axle assembly undergoes a proprietary cleaning process utilizing hydro-blasting and sandblasting, followed by a deep cleaning procedure that restores cases to an OEM finish.
