Ring And Pinion Kits

What is a ring and pinion kit? Why buy one?

The ring and pinion are the gears inside of your axle that take power from the engine and deliver it to the wheels. These gears require precise setup and adjustment in order to work properly. Over the years your ring and pinion may wear down and eventually fail rendering your ride useless. It is also possible that you might want to change your gear ratio for better performance on the track or on the trail. In either case you will need to get yourself a ring and pinion kit. These kits contain a ring gear and a pinion gear in the ratio of your choice as well as all of the necessary components to install the gears. It is important to note that this is a complex mechanical installation that requires an experienced and properly trained tech. Do not attempt this installation at home if you do not have any previous experience.

Why To Buy?:

The ring and pinion are the two gears in your differential that work together to drive the wheels. They have different ratios of teeth to give more or less mechanical advantage depending upon the vehicle's weight and transmission gearing. If your differential is beginning to make whining or clunky noises it is time to overhaul it with a new ring and pinion kit. Aftermarket ring and pinion kits come with all of the necessary parts to change your rear-end gears and ensure a trouble free operation.

Did You Know?:

Ring and pinion gears are also a crucial performance item. In the world of motorsports having the right gearing is of the utmost importance. If your gears are too tall it will cause you to get off the line slowly, and if they are too short you will sacrifice top end speed. If you want to improve acceleration and performance switching to a new ring and pinion ratio is a great way to go. Aftermarket ring and pinion kits also boast parts with improved strength for high horsepower applications. As a note of caution, while we really dig this modification, the installation should only be done be a knowledgeable mechanic with all of the proper tools.
