Ford 9 in. 3rd Member Assembly 31 Spline Mega Spool 3.50 Gear Ratio

Description

Assembled by Professionals Hand-assembled by trained experts in-house, our Ford 9-inch third members are built from quality components with an exact step-by-step process. Tough, Nodular Iron Center Section Our Ford 9 Inch Nodular Iron Third Member Center Section Carrier starts with a NEW casting with over 4 lbs. of additional material in critical areas. Nodular (ductile) iron is much more resistant to fracturing than OEM “gray” iron. Extra ribbing reinforces the case and rearmost pinion support (pilot bearing). Thick, forged steel bearing caps surround the carrier bearings, all securely held in place with precision Grade 8 cap screws. The improvements continue with rugged billet steel adjuster nuts and heavy-duty keepers to ensure your ring gear settings are maintained. An oil fill plug is included. Precision Assembled For Proper Ring Gear Teeth Pattern Getting a proper pattern on the ring gear teeth is crucial. Our time-proven, step-by-step process ensures the correct backlash, preload, and proper amount of pinion shims to ensure the correct pattern on the ring gear teeth. Stronger due to its larger bearings, our Daytona pinion support also uses the spacer-and-shim setup to maintain critical pinion depth settings under high load, unlike traditional crush sleeves which often compress further, take out your preload and lead to failure. Since preload is already set, simply torque the pinion nut to 160 ft./lbs. An oil fill plug is included. Weight 8 lbs. and you’re good to go.
