Zumbrota Drivetrain Reman Complete Axle Assembly 8.8" Ring Gear Ford F-150 1998 3.73 Posi LSD - RAA435-2035-P

If you're looking to breathe new life into your Ford F-150, the Zumbrota Drivetrain Axle Assembly is a solid choice. These aren't just any rebuilt axles; they’re crafted with a level of care and precision that you can really appreciate when you hit the road—or the trail. Each assembly goes through a rigorous inspection process. We're talking straightness checks, crack assessments, and a close look at any surface wear. You can bet that every internal component, from the ring and pinion to the clutches and carriers, gets a thorough once-over. It's all about making sure everything's in tip-top shape.

One of the standout features is how Zumbrota replaces all the bearings and seals. You don’t want to be dealing with leaks or wear and tear down the line. Plus, they meticulously inspect the gears for optimal tooth contact patterns. This isn’t just for show; it ensures you get the right rolling torque, which contributes to the longevity of your axle. And don’t worry about noise; they set the gear backlash just right for smooth, quiet operation.

Now, let's talk about the cleaning process. Zumbrota uses a unique hydro-blast rinse and sandblasting method that really brings the housing back to OEM standards. It’s not just about making it look good; it’s about performance, too. When you install this axle assembly, you’re installing something that’s been prepped to last.

  • Every axle tube is inspected to ensure it meets OEM straightness specs.
  • All housings are thoroughly tested for any surface wear or cracks.
  • They do a 100% inspection on all internal parts, including the ring and pinion, internal gears, clutches, and carriers.
  • All bearings, seals, crush sleeves, pinion nuts, and shims are replaced—no shortcuts here.
  • The cleaning process is state-of-the-art, ensuring everything is back to that OEM finish.
  • They establish the correct rolling torque using inch-pound measurements, which means precise setup for longevity.
