Yukon Drivetrain Installation Kits: The Smart Move

The biggest projects can be derailed by the smallest parts. It’s frustrating to be on a roll with an installation and have the wrenching screech to a halt because you don’t have the right shim, bolt, or other small part. This is where dedicated installation kits save the day.

Yukon Gear & Axle has developed the most comprehensive line of differential rebuild and gear installation kits on the market. The strength of these kits is how they’re compiled to deliver the essential small parts needed for different individual drivetrain installation jobs. They range from mini-kits that contain the bare minimum for a gear swap or diff repair to Master Overhaul Kits that include every component necessary for a complete replacement of bearings, seals, shims, and more. The following kit types are listed with their part number prefix in parenthesis.
