If you are considering Ridetech's 4-link suspension for the back of your 1967-1981 Camaro or Firebird, a new Currie 9-inch rear end with Ridetech brackets installed is the natural choice

Currie 9-inch rear ends built to stock axle width or narrowed for mini-tubs with the stock pinion offset (drive shaft location) and wheel bolt pattern with Ridetech 4-link and sway bar brackets installed for a straightforward, hassle-free installation

 

Included Standard Features

Centurion 9-inch   Currie Centurion Housing - Classic notchback looks in a new, high-strength, American-made housing that features 3-inch diameter axle tubes and CNC machined face flange for a flat, leak-free seal - all joined together with strong, attractive welds
     
  Drain Plug - This standard feature makes routine maintenance so much easier - no more removing the brakes, axles, and the third member for a simple oil change
     
RideTech Brackets Installed   Ridetech Brackets - Heavy-duty laser cut 4-link and sway bar brackets are installed on the housing for a direct bolt-in fit with your Ridetech suspension
     
Currie Sportsman Case   Currie Sportsman Case - New nodular iron gear case with Daytona big bearing pinion support and 1350 yoke provides the perfect foundation for a performance restomod build - no used or reconditioned parts here!
     
Master Bearin Kit   Master Bearing Kit - High-quality bearings and performance seals are used throughout to provide a long, trouble-free service life
     
Billet Housing Ends   Billet Housing Ends - Currie billet late model Ford Torino large bearing housing ends are CNC machined for accuracy and feature provisions for internal or external axle oil seals
     
Performance Axles   Alloy Axles - Currie Performance 31-spline 1541 alloy axles with tapered axle bearings feature vehicle correct bolt pattern and wheel studs
     
  Bearing Retainers - Heavy-duty retainers assure positive bearing retention and full seal engagement for a long, trouble-free, leak-free service life. *Aftermarket brake kits typically utilize proprietary bearing retainers
     
Professional Labor  

Assembly - Every rear end is fully assembled in-house by our skilled professionals and shipped ready to install

 

 

Options To Complete The Build

  Gear Cases - Select from a range of gear cases in nodular iron or aluminum to match the performance and weight requirements of your build
     
Ring and Pinion Set   Gear Ratio - Select from a wide variety of ratios, Currie uses only the highest quality Motive Gear Performance® series (Orange box) ring and pinion sets in our 9-inch crate rear-ends
     
Differential Options   Differential - Select the differential type that meets your traction needs, including helical gear or clutch-style limited-slip, automatic locking differential, or steel spool
     
Brake Options   Brake Package - Select from a range of brake options from classic 11-inch drums to 14-inch Baer and Wilwood disk brakes that are capable of meeting any performance requirement
     
Isotropic Gear Polishing   REM® Isotropic Polishing - Removes surface imperfections created during the gear manufacturing process. Polishing eliminates the need for a break-in period, decreases friction, reduces operating temps, and removes stress risers. This option helps gears last longer and run quieter
     
Powder Coat   Powder Coat - Optional powder coat finish adds long-lasting protection against rust and corrosion to keep your rear-end looking its best

 

 

NOTES:

Lubrication Requirements - 9-inch rear ends use a high-offset hypoid gear design requiring severe duty gear oil with API GL-6 rating. Use of oil not meeting the GL-6 rating will prematurely wear the gears and bearings and void the Currie Warranty

67-69 F-body - This rear end is designed for 67-69 F-body vehicles with Ridetech's 4-link suspension system

70-81 F-body - This rear end is designed for 70-81 F-body vehicles with Ridetech's 2023 and newer 4-link suspension system and will not fit the previous suspension design

Aftermarket Brakes - Currie crate rear ends conform to the ABCS (Aftermarket Brake Configuration Standard). This allows brake kits that use this standard to easily be changed or upgraded without modifying the housing or axles. ABCS brakes use a 2.5” brake space with late-model big bearing Ford housing ends and a 2.80 center hole in the drum or rotor

Wheel Studs - Currie crate rear ends use standardized-shank Currie Enterprises wheel studs that allow the following wheel studs to be interchangeable in the axles without drilling: 12mm, 7/16, 1/2, and 1/2 x 3-inch competition
