Rock Assault Fully-Built Front Axles

Details

• 59" from WMS to WMS
• Knuckle balls are forged from 1035 steel
• The axle tubes have been offset above the housing centerline, so the inner axles ride near the bottom of the axle tubes rather than in the center
• Increase of 3/8" in ground clearance under the axle tubes
• 5/16” thick, high strength DOM axle tubes that engage 5/8” further into the center section and the 360° gusset welded around the tubes on the inside of the housing
• Heavy-duty, press formed, 1/4" plate steel center section shell is specially shaped to ensure a minimum of 3/4" additional clearance under the differential
• Differential mounting surface is made from 1/2” plate steel
• Customize each axle to exactly what you need with your choice of:
  • Axle Width
  • Axle Offset
  • Differential
  • Hubs or Flanges

Ring and Pinion Break-In Procedure:

New 3rd members require a break-in period to prevent damage from overheating. Any overloading or over-heating during this period can cause the gear oil to break down resulting in ring and pinion failure.

• After installation, drive lightly for 20-30 minutes and then allow the differential to cool for at least two hours
• Avoid heavy throttle use during the first 500 miles
• Do not tow a trailer during the first 500 miles
• Change oil after 500 miles to remove any particles suspended in the oil

This may seem unnecessary but it is very easy to damage the differential by loading it before the gear set is completely run in. New ring and pinion gears create excess heat when they are new. This excess heat can damage the heat treatment of the gears.
