I am looking at buying a rebuilt rear axle. The seller says the one piece axles were replaced with two piece ones, new bearings, all new brake components. And the ratio is 3.73. I assume that means the gear ratio. How do I determine whether that will match up to my front gearing?
One of the seals and the pinion seal need replaced on my current setup and I think it wont be much more to just get the new axle. I also would like to get rid of the lockers on my axle since I use it as a daily driver. Is there a market for a used locker? I'm hoping to offset some of the cost by selling it.
