(1) Ford 9 Inch Posi Differential 3rd Member
We start with a new reinforced Speedway motors carrier housing and then install bearings, seals, a heavy-duty "Daytona" pinion support, a 1310-series yoke, and your choice of ring-and-pinion ratios. The 1310-series yoke is the correct size for many Ford applications with cups 1-1/16 inch in outside diameter and a span of 3-7/32 inch across.
Based off of the original limited-slip designs of the OEMs, these differential units provide the added benefits of millions of miles and decades of proven reliability. Speedway has taken this engineering to the next step in performance with increased clutch pressure and holding power, suiting it well for heavy-duty street car applications.
- Clutch style, spider gear differential = proven reliability
- Forged steel case
- Heat-treated spider gears
- Quiet operation, no clicking when disengaging for corners
- Spring-loaded clutch pack with improved grip over OEM designs
- Ideal for street tires and medium horsepower applications

Total wheel-to-wheel mounting surface width is 54" (from hub-to-hub). The pumpkin is centered in the housing, which puts the pinion 1" offset from center, requiring different length axle shafts. This 54" housing kit includes one 27-5/8" long axle and one 25-1/4" long axle. These custom cut and splined axle shafts are manufactured from an induction heat treated 1541 forged alloy. These axles are specific to the aftermarket brake configuration standard in that they have a 2.5" brake space offset, 2.8" register hub and include late model large bearings (Torino bearings). Flanges are dual-drilled for both 5 on 4-1/2" Ford/Mopar and 5 on 4-3/4" GM wheel bolt patterns.
