Motive Gear R12RSKT Differential Kit Alloy Steel

Description

Product Overview

The Motive Gear R12RSKT differential kit is engineered for demanding automotive applications where strength, precision, and reliability are non‑negotiable. Constructed from high‑grade alloy steel, the kit offers superior resistance to wear, corrosion, and the high torque loads typical of differential systems. Each component—gear, bearing, and race—is machined to exacting tolerances, ensuring a perfect mesh and minimal backlash. The included R12RSKT roller bearing (model R12RSKT) provides smooth rotation and load distribution, reducing heat buildup and extending service life. With dimensions of 13.75 x 13 x 3.25 inches and a weight of 6 pounds, the kit balances substantial mass for durability with manageable handling for installation.

Usage

Designed for vehicle‑specific applications, the R12RSKT kit fits a range of models that require a replacement differential assembly. It is ideal for performance upgrades, routine maintenance, or complete rebuilds of rear‑axle differentials in passenger cars, light trucks, and off‑road vehicles. The kit excels in high‑stress environments such as track days, towing, and rugged terrain where consistent power delivery and durability are critical. Professional mechanics will appreciate the precise fit and the reduced need for additional machining, while DIY enthusiasts benefit from the clear labeling and comprehensive parts list that streamline the installation process.
