Made from 356-T6 cast aluminum, these girdles incorporate a reinforced crossbar. The crossbar houses the load bolts that apply pressure to the bearing caps. This feature, along with the thick casting, prevents bearing cap deflection under severe loads. Which in turn greatly reduces or eliminates (in most cases) bearing cap fatigue and failure. Includes cover bolts and gasket.
Low Profile design: The cross bar is machined down for additional clearance. It has the engraved TA checkered flag logo, and the load bolt lock nuts are recessed into the brace. Ideal for applications that have clearance concerns with trunk pans, pan hard bars or sway bars. Overall height measures 3-3/4" from gasket surface.
Application: 1972-2013 GM 8.5" & 8.6" Chevy 10 bolt rearend (will not fit front end)
