Built into every AAM component

AAM designs, engineers, tests and validates components to the vehicle manufacturer's exact specifications. Its manufacturing operations - from heat treating and sealing to gear cutting - use proprietary processes and methods. Ongoing research in noise, vibration and harshness (NVH), thermal management, system and modules, vehicle system efficiency, vehicle handling and dynamics and other disciplines, help assure you the benefits of today's latest technology. The result: better manufactured components from day one. Insist on AAM parts. Insist on AAM Parts.

  • Axle Components
  • Driveshaft Components
  • Installation Parts & Kits
    • Axle Shafts

      AAM axle shafts use specialized steel produced to rigorous standards demanded by OEM truck and SUV manufacturers. The heat treat and forging operations used to produce AAM axle shafts are designed to manufacture shafts that will withstand the high use demands in all applications. AAM processes to roll the splines ensure optimal strength and durability of each axle shaft.

      Differential Cases

      AAM differential cases are machined and assembled to the high OEM quality standards and tolerances. All cases and case assemblies are designed and tested for each specific vehicle application. Low pinion flange runout, a key specification, is assured for maximum quietness.

      Ring & Pinion Gear Sets

      AAM ring and pinion gear sets are uniquely designed to match the requirements the OEM designated for your specific vehicle. All performance factors for the size and weight of the specific vehicle must be taken into account. AAM innovative "Two-Cut" manufacturing process ensures the lowest tolerances possible for the quiet operation required by OEM customers. This "Two-Cut" design also allows for easier set up in the aftermarket replacement business. The combination of materials, heat treating and cut geometry allows for a gear set that has ten times the life of a non-OE gear set.

      Pinion Flanges

      All AAM pinion flanges are engineered and manufactured to meet the specific requirements of OEM customers. High attention is paid to maintaining a low run out measurement as a means to ensure a quiet, low NVH performance of the axle assembly.
