The Speedmaster Ford 9 in. Aluminum 28-Spline Helical Gear LSD Third Member Assembly is a precision-engineered differential component designed for Ford 9-inch rear axles. This aluminum third member features a 28-spline helical gear configuration with a 5.43:1 gear ratio, delivering responsive power delivery and optimized performance for high-torque applications. The helical gear design reduces noise and wear while improving load distribution across the gear mesh.
This third member assembly is engineered for compatibility with Ford 9-inch differential housings and is ideal for custom builds, restoration projects, and performance upgrades where precision gear ratio and durability are critical. The aluminum construction keeps unsprung weight to a minimum, supporting better handling and acceleration response. Whether you're building a street rod, classic muscle car, or track-focused vehicle, this LSD (limited-slip differential) member provides the gear ratio and load-carrying capability needed for dependable performance.
