If you're in the market for a solid axle assembly that won’t let you down, the Zumbrota Drivetrain Axle Assembly is worth a serious look. I’ve had my hands on a few of these, and let me tell you, they’re rebuilt with a level of care that’s hard to find these days. Each assembly goes through a rigorous inspection process to make sure everything is straight and free from cracks or surface wear. It’s not just about slapping parts together; they really take the time to ensure every internal component—like the ring and pinions, gears, clutches, and carriers—gets a thorough check-up.
One of the standout features is the complete replacement of all bearings and seals. You won’t have to worry about those wearing out anytime soon. Plus, they don’t just eyeball the gears; they inspect them for optimal tooth contact patterns and set the rolling torque with inch-pound measurements. This kind of precision is key for longevity and smooth operation. And if you’re concerned about noise, the correct gear backlash is set to keep things quiet while ensuring proper lubrication.
When it comes to the axle tubes, Zumbrota ensures they meet OEM standards for straightness. They even use a unique hydro-blast rinse and sandblasting process on all parts, which really brings everything back to that OEM finish you want. It’s like giving your axle a fresh start, and you can feel the difference when you hit the road.
- Axle Type: Semi Floating
- Cover Included: Yes
- Fluid Included: No
As for fitment, this assembly is perfect for the 2003 Ford Explorer Sport and the 2003-2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. If you’ve got one of those rides, you’re in luck. This particular model features an 8.8” ring gear with a 3.73 ratio Posi LSD, which means you’ll get that extra grip when you need it.
In short, if you want a reliable axle that’s been rebuilt with attention to detail and quality, the Zumbrota Reman Complete Axle Assembly is a solid choice. You’ll appreciate the craftsmanship when you’re out there on the road or tackling those off-road trails.
