If you're looking to breathe new life into your ride, the Zumbrota Drivetrain Axle Assembly might just be what you need. I’ve seen a lot of axle assemblies in my time, but these guys really stand out. Each one is rebuilt with precision and reliability in mind, and you can tell they take their work seriously. They don’t just slap things together; every assembly goes through a rigorous inspection process. We're talking about checking for straightness, cracks, and surface wear—nothing gets past their watchful eyes.

Now, let’s get into the nitty-gritty. They thoroughly inspect all the internal components, including the ring and pinions, internal gears, clutches, and carriers. If anything's off, it gets replaced. And speaking of replacements, you can count on all bearings and seals being swapped out for fresh ones. They even check the gears for optimal tooth contact patterns and set the rolling torque using inch-pound measurements. This attention to detail means you’re not just getting an axle; you’re getting something built to last.

The axle tubes? They’re inspected to ensure they meet OEM standards for straightness—no bending or warping here. Plus, Zumbrota employs a unique hydro-blast rinse and sandblasting process that cleans both the internal and external parts. This isn’t just for show; it brings everything back to an OEM finish, which is a nice touch if you care about how your components look as much as how they perform.

• All tubes are straightened to OEM specifications, ensuring a solid fit.
• Housings are rigorously tested for surface wear and cracks—no surprises down the road.
