This unit is engineered for non-handling-package applications, making it the correct direct-replacement for standard civilian Crown Victoria builds from 1998–2000.

• Gear & Carrier Inspection – Ring and pinion, internal gears, and carrier are checked for proper tooth contact patterns and rolling torque
• New Wear Components – All seals, bearings, crush sleeves, pinion nuts, and shims are replaced
• Backlash Reset – Gear backlash is precisely reset for smooth, quiet operation and maximum longevity
