If you're in the market for a solid axle assembly, let me tell you about the Zumbrota Drivetrain Axle Assemblies. These aren't just any rebuilt axles; they're crafted with a level of care that you don't often see. Each assembly goes through a meticulous inspection process. We're talking about checking for straightness, cracks, and any surface wear that might cause issues down the line. You wouldn't want to throw in a part that could let you down on the road, right?

Every internal component gets the once-over too. The ring and pinions, internal gears, clutches, and carriers are all tested to make sure they’re up to snuff. Plus, all the bearings and seals? They get replaced. It’s like giving your truck a fresh start. The gears are inspected for optimal tooth contact patterns, and the rolling torque is measured in inch pounds—this isn’t just for show; it’s about ensuring that everything runs smoothly and lasts longer.

And let’s talk about gear backlash. It’s set correctly to ensure proper lubrication and keep things quiet while you’re cruising. The axle tubes are also checked to ensure they meet OEM standards for straightness. You want a part that fits right, and Zumbrota makes sure of it.

One of the standout features is their cleaning process. They use a unique hydro-blast rinse and sandblasting technique on both internal and external parts. This isn’t just a quick wash; it brings everything back to that OEM finish, which is pretty impressive if you ask me.

Features:

  • All tubes are inspected to ensure they’re straightened to OEM specifications.
  • Housings are tested for cracks and surface wear—no surprises here.
  • Every internal part is 100% inspected, including the ring and pinions, internal gears, clutches, and carriers.
  • All bearings, seals, crush sleeves, pinion nuts, and shims are replaced.
  • Housings are cleaned using a top-notch hydro blasting and rinsing process to restore that OEM finish.
  • Correct rolling torque is established using inch pound measurements for precise setup and longevity.
