// THE FULL RUNDOWN

When it comes to getting your Jeep Cherokee back on the road, the Zumbrota Drivetrain Axle Assembly is where it's at. These aren't just any rebuilt axles; they’re crafted with a level of care that you don’t often see. Every single assembly goes through a rigorous inspection process. We’re talking straightness checks, crack inspections, and a close look at surface wear. You want reliability? This is it. What really sets these axles apart is the thoroughness of the internal components. Each part—be it the ring and pinions, internal gears, clutches, or carriers—gets a full inspection and testing. They even replace all bearings and seals, so you know you’re getting a fresh start. The gears are checked for optimal tooth contact patterns and rolling torque, all measured in inch-pounds. This attention to detail means you can expect a setup that’ll last. Now, let's talk about the cleaning process. Zumbrota uses a hydro-blast rinse combined with sandblasting on both the inside and outside of the axles. This isn’t just for show; it brings everything back to an OEM finish, which is crucial for performance. Plus, they ensure that the axle tubes are straightened to meet OEM specs—no surprises there. Specifications: To sum it up, if you've got a 1997-2000 Jeep Cherokee, this Zumbrota axle assembly (RAA435-1566AL-P) is a solid choice. With a Chrysler 8.25 inch design and a 3.07 ratio complete with posi traction, you’ll be ready to tackle whatever the road throws your way. No fluff, just dependable performance. The shipping fee quoted in the shopping cart includes transportation of the product to your location as well as the return of your core to the manufacturer. If you opt to send your core in advance, we offer a 50% refund on the shipping cost. However, please note that this option may prolong the overall process, so we generally advise against it.

// COVERED WHEN IT COUNTS

THIS PART //

Backed by the full Zumbrota Drivetrain manufacturer warranty. JAP is an authorized dealer — your warranty is valid from day one.

FULL MANUFACTURER WARRANTY

Every part ships new in the box with the manufacturer's standard warranty — terms and duration vary by brand (typically 1 year to limited lifetime on hard parts). We only sell through authorized channels, so coverage is never voided by gray-market sourcing.

Warranty issue? Don't fight the manufacturer's phone tree alone. Hit our team with your order number and photos — we open the claim with the brand and stay on it until it's resolved.

WHAT WARRANTY DOESN'T COVER

Defects in materials and workmanship are covered. Trail damage, improper installation, modification, and normal wear items (bushings, pads, wear plates) generally are not — that's standard across every brand we carry.

SEPARATE FROM RETURNS

Warranty claims (defects after use) and returns (unused parts within 30 days) are different lanes. Not sure which applies? Message us first — we'll route it the fast way.
