description: All too often when an enthusiast builds a high-performance engine swaps a more powerful engine into a car or mounts sticky tires the driveline components simply can't handle the added torque and fail. In addition differential axles and driveline parts have a limited life span under the power of a high-performance engine. Also the proper gear ratios need to be selected and installed for maximum performance on the street strip or track. The performance of the driveshaft differential axle and other driveline components needs to match the performance level of a particular engine so maximum efficiency longevity and reliability can be realized. This book covers everything you need to know about selecting the most desirable gear ratio rebuilding differentials and other driveline components and most importantly matching the correct driveline components to engine power output. Learn how to set up a limited-slip differential install high-performance axle shafts swap out differential gears and select the best available products for the driveline. This book covers the Chevy 12-bolt Ford 8.8-inch Dana units and many other popular high-performance axles and rear ends. In addition it explains rear differential basics rear differential housings rebuilding open rear differentials limited-slip differentials and factory differentials. Ring and pinion gears axle housings axle shafts driveshafts and U-joints are also covered.
