Before you purchase parts…

Please read this before you buy parts from us.

At West Coast Differentials we have always supported our wholesale customers by not competing with them. We do not sell parts online, and have never gone out of our way to pursue retail sales. Nonetheless, we do sell parts to retail customers on a will call and mail order basis to those that are capable of installing parts themselves.

That brings us to the point of this post…

If you are planning to have a shop install your parts, we strongly recommend that you have the shop / installer purchase the parts.
Here’s why:
  • Most shops will not provide a warranty on parts you buy elsewhere. This creates a hassle for everyone if the parts fail, not to mention the delay caused when customer provided parts are incorrect or incomplete.
  • The professional mechanics at your local shop can order just the high quality parts they need for your job without paying for extras.
  • Most shops are owner operated family businesses that make a small profit on the parts they sell in order to pay for the tools and equipment needed to install them.

Help keep your local shop in business!

 

 

REM Polish ISF Gear Finishing Race Polishing Service

Isotropic Superfinishing – Ring & Pinion Gear Polishing

In-House Gear Finishing Service

Simply put, Isotropic Superfinishing significantly reduces the surface imperfections that remain after a Ring and Pinion Gear set is manufactured. The result is a cooler, quieter and longer lasting gear set.  At West Coast Differentials, the process we use is chemically accelerated vibratory surface finishing. This is technically not a polishing process, however the resulting finish does have a polished appearance. This process eliminates surface imperfections without removing material or changing the physical dimensions of the part.
This finishing process is widely used in racing applications where a conventional break-in process is not feasible, and where optimum performance is not an option.

BENEFITS OF ISOTROPIC SUPERFINISHING

  • Reduced Friction
  • Reduced Contact Wear
  • Reduced Heat
  • Increased Durability
  • Improved Oil Retention
  • Lower Operating Temperature
  • Reduced Noise & Vibration
  • Increased Fuel Economy
  • Reduced Break-In Requirements
  • Reduced Maintenance

Off Road 4x4 Differential Cover

ARB Differential Covers

ARB Diff Covers

ARB’s nodular iron Differential Covers have been engineered to protect the differential and ring & pinion from off-road hazards.

Features:

  • Computer optimized cross brace design increases the structural rigidity of the whole axle
  • Additional housing strength helps keep the ring & pinion gears meshing on the flat faces of the teeth, greatly increasing ring & pinion life and overall maximum load strength
  • Top quality, high power neodymium magnets are used in both the drain plug and the dipstick to collect metallic wear particles
  • Magnet location in the end of the dipstick allows the oil to be checked for tell-tale signs of internal damage
  • Prolonged carrier bearing life due to extra support to the bearing alignment
  • Approach/departure angle optimized by angled exterior surfaces
  • Unique dipstick/filler cap design allows differential oil level to be adjusted for customized high driveline angles

Available for:

  • Dana 35
  • Dana 44 (except Aluminum)
  • Dana 50/60
  • Chrysler 8.25″
  • Ford 8.8″
  • GM 10-Bolt

ARB’s Diff Cover will protect your differential against the hazards of impact during competition or extreme off road use and are designed to counteract flexing of the axle assembly When off road, it is inevitable that obstacles will be encountered that could potentially inflict expensive damage on your differential. To prevent this, ARB’s Differential Cover is available for a range of vehicle models, and has been specifically engineered to protect the differential and ring & pinion set from any off road hazards.

  • High tensile nodular iron structure protects the differential and ring & pinion set from off road obstacles
  • Computer optimized cross brace design increases the structural rigidity of the whole axle
  • Approach/departure angle optimized by angled exterior surface
  • Prolonged carrier bearing life due to extra support to the bearing alignment.
  • Top quality, high power neodymium magnets are used in both the drain plug and the dipstick to collect any metallic particles in the oil. This makes the dipstick an easy location to be checked for tell-tale signs of internal damage or water contamination without the need to drain the oil.
