Product Details
Pontiac Firebird 1982, S 60™ by Strange®. The Strange S 60™ is a vast improvement over a factory Dana 60, while still accepting the same components. The casting and oversized main caps are constructed from a proprietary nodular iron which is substantially stronger than cast iron. This has allowed the casting to be made not only thinner and lighter, but also stronger. The heavy duty main caps are fitted with adjuster nuts that eliminate the side carrier shims. Backlash and preload are adjusted by a turn of a wrench, greatly reducing the time and effort to change a gear or differential.

The 9.750" ring gear can endure a tremendous amount of abuse- equal to a 9" Ford at a fraction of the price. It is also more efficient , taking less horsepower to drive the ring and pinion. The S60 weighs 15 lbs. more than a comparable 9" rear end, and only 20-25 lbs. more than an aftermarket 12-bolt. The S60 rear end is equipped with 35-spline axle shafts without costly upgrades. All castings feature a drain plug located at the bottom. The HD 1350 series pinion yoke is larger than any factory yoke and needs tobe accounted for when ordering the driveshaft.
