Upgrading your Ford 9 inch axle is as easy as removing the old center section and dropping in a new Speedmaster Third Member Assembly. Available with aluminum or nodular iron cases, they have these features:
• 1350-style billet steel yoke
• 3.250 inch ‘Big Ford’ bearing diameter
• CNC-machined and heat-treated 8620 chromoly steel gear sets lapped for correct tooth contact pattern
• Fully assembled with new bearing, seals, races, and gaskets
All Speedmaster Third Member Assemblies are available with a Torque Worm limited-slip differential. It has six pinion gears to spread load over a larger surface area, reducing stress on all internal components.
