Product Details
CRD 60™ Rear Axle Assembly (3321513) by TeraFlex®. With Pro LCG Truss. TeraFlex CRD 60™ axles are the original Jeep specific off-road axle. TeraFlex set the industry standard in 2002 when the CRD 60™ introduced off-road specific solutions with revolutionary axle technology, and they have never looked back. The exclusive Constant Radius Design's unique features such as a rotated cover line, smooth high clearance surfaces, integrated suspension mounting points, oversized bearings, and increased oil flow were specific areas of needed change that TeraFlex introduced to the off-road industry. These advancements have since been assimilated by the industry. Over the years TeraFlex has proven to be at the forefront of innovation, becoming the most respected industry leader.

- Improve your off-roading experience
Some serious off-roading can see you limping back to the trailhead with cracked brackets, bent housings, failing bearings and leaking gear lube. TeraFlex axles are reinforced, beefed-up, or engineered to eliminate most of the problems you will encounter in building or running an off-roading Jeep. Starting with generations of experience in off-roading and building Jeeps and making parts for them, TeraFlex knows how. TeraFlex axles should be considered a serious upgrade. You can take all of your stock components and simply install them into a TeraFlex housing if you've damaged yours, saving a lot of money over replacing the entire axle assembly. Or you can simply buy a preassembled unit that's ready to bolt in. TeraFlex axles will outlast a stock axle by leaps and bounds, especially if you do much leaping or bounding in your Jeep.
TeraFlex® has been professionally involved with Jeeps since the 1950s and that experience taught them how to make them perform their best. TeraFlex was started in the fall of 1996 to meet the needs of the growing market for heavy duty off road equipment and suspension enhancements. And they've maintained a dominant hold on the market since then. TeraFlex was the first aftermarket manufacturer with a suspension system for the TJ Wrangler, and is still the only aftermarket company to offer a solution for the venerable 231 transfer cases low range gearing. In 2001, the entire off road industry was stunned at the CRD60 - an off-road-specific high-pinion 60 differential that took innovation to a new level, reinforcing their position in the industry.
