This is a remanufactured complete rear axle assembly with a Chrysler 8.25 inch ring gear and a 3.21 ratio. It fits 2007-2009 Dodge Nitro and 2007-2009 Jeep Liberty models with the Chrysler 8.25 axle. It does not have Posi-Traction.
Each unit is remanufactured with a full inspection. The tubes are checked and straightened to OEM specifications. The housings are tested for surface wear and cracks, then cleaned by hydro blasting and rinsing, which returns them to the OEM finish. All internal parts are inspected, including the ring and pinion, internal gears, clutches and carriers.
The bearings, seals, crush sleeves, pinion nuts and shims are all replaced. Gear patterns are checked during the process to ensure good tooth contact. Rolling torque is set using inch-pound measurements. Backlash clearance is set for proper gear lubrication and noise reduction.
