Différentiels : revues techniques

Jeep, Dana and Chrysler Differentials - How to Rebuild the Chrysler 8 ¼, 8 ¾, Dana 44 & 60 and Amc 20

Ce livre se concentre sur le démontage, l'inspection et le réassemblage des différentiels haute performance utilisés dans divers modèles de voitures Chrysler, tels que le Challenger, Charger, Barracuda et Super Bee, ainsi que dans des modèles Jeep comme le CJ et Cherokee.
Chrysler utilisait les différentiels Dana 60 et BorgWarner Sure-Grip dans ses muscle cars, associés à des moteurs puissants comme le Magnum et le Hemi V8, qui ont marqué l'histoire des sports mécaniques. Les modèles Jeep, utilisant les différentiels Dana 44 et AMC 20, subissent également des charges importantes, ce qui nécessite des réparations fréquentes.

Après des années d'utilisation, ces différentiels doivent être reconstruits, et des pièces de rechange telles que des couronnes et pignons sont disponibles pour les mises à jour. Ce livre offre un guide détaillé étape par étape pour démonter, inspecter et reconstruire les différentiels les plus populaires.

Bien que les axes et les différentiels ne soient pas particulièrement complexes, le processus de reconstruction et de mise à niveau nécessite des étapes spécifiques. Ce livre simplifie le processus et l'explique en détail. Une attention particulière est accordée aux couronnes et pignons, ainsi qu'à la sélection des meilleures arbres d'essieu et à la modification des boîtiers de différentiel pour des performances accrues.

Ford Differentials - How to Rebuild the 8.8 Inch and 9 Inch

The Ford 8.8- and 9-inch rear differentials are two of the most popular and best performing differentials on the market. While the 8.8-inch differential is commonly used in late-model Mustangs, the 9-inch is the most popular and arguably the most dominant high-performance differential for muscle cars, hot rods, custom vehicles and race cars. Built from 1957-1986, the 9-inch Ford differential is used in a huge range of high-performance Ford and non-Ford vehicles because of its rugged construction, easy-to-setup design, and large aftermarket support.

The Ford 8.8- and 9-inch need to be rebuilt after extensive use and need a variety of different ratios for top performance and special applications. This Workbench book provides detailed step-by-step photos and information for rebuilding the differentials with the best equipment and installing the gear sets and converting to posi-traction for a variety of applications.
It shows how to disassemble the rear end, identify worn ring and pinion gears and other damage or wear, and proceeds to show step-by-step rebuilding of the differential. It also explains how to select the right differential hardware, bearings, seals, and other parts, as well as how to set ring and pinion backlash, so the rear end operates at peak efficiency.

Aftermarket 9-inch performance differentials from manufacturers, such as Currie, Moser and Strange, will be reviewed and the reader will learn how to rebuild and set-up these high-performance aftermarket differentials. In addition, the book provides a comprehensive 9-inch identification chart to ensure readers properly identify the model and specifics of the differential.

Chapters include axle identification, inspection, and purchasing axles for rebuilding, differential tear down, ring and pinion gear removal, inspection and reassembly, drive axle choices and more.

Chevy Differentials - How to Rebuild the 10- and 12-Bolt

Millions of Chevrolet vehicles were built and sold in the 1960s and 1970s, and the great majority of those were rear-wheel-drive models with differentials known as 10-bolts or 12-bolts. High-performance limited-slip versions of these differentials also have been installed in Camaros, Chevelles, Corvettes, and many other GM muscle cars from 1964 through the 1970s, as well as Chevy and GMC trucks. If you have owned a GM performance car from the 1960s or 1970s, you have owned one of these sturdy, reliable, and versatile differentials.

Many of these differentials are now more than 40 years old and are due for an overhaul. In Chevy Differentials: How to Rebuild the 10- and 12-Bolt, author Jefferson Bryant walks you through the entire process of disassembling, evaluating, and rebuilding the perfect differential for your GM application. In this step-by-step guide, you learn how to completely disassemble the differential, evaluate components, and select replacement parts. You're also shown all of the up-to-date techniques for re-assembling the differential and axle. Informative sections on axle identification and replacement parts are also provided.
