If you’re in the market for a solid axle assembly, you’ve got to check out the Zumbrota Drivetrain Axle Assemblies. These aren’t just any rebuilt axles; they’re crafted with a level of precision and reliability that’s hard to come by. Each assembly goes through a rigorous inspection process to ensure everything is straight and free from cracks or wear. I’ve seen firsthand how thorough they are—every internal component, from the ring and pinion gears to the clutches and carriers, gets a full inspection and testing. It’s like they’re giving each axle a full check-up before it hits the road.

One thing I really appreciate is that all the bearings and seals are replaced. You want to make sure everything is fresh, right? Plus, they take the time to inspect the gears for optimal tooth contact patterns and set the rolling torque with inch-pound measurements. This attention to detail means you’re getting a setup that’s built for longevity and smooth operation. And let’s be real, nobody wants a noisy axle, so they set the gear backlash just right for proper lubrication and quiet performance.

Now, let’s talk about the axle tubes. Zumbrota doesn’t cut corners here either. They inspect each tube to ensure it meets OEM standards for straightness. They even use a unique hydro-blast rinse and sandblasting process on the internal and external parts, followed by a deep cleaning method that really brings everything back to that OEM finish. It’s impressive how they’ve set the bar for axle assembly remanufacturing.
