Purpose and drive configuration

The presented rear axle is dedicated to Ford Transit MK7 generation vehicles with RWD (Rear Wheel Drive). The differential design is optimized for use with diesel engines and manual transmissions, ensuring the drive characteristics remain consistent with the manufacturer's original specifications.

The I=3,58 gear ratio is a typical choice for configurations focused on stable performance under load, reasonable fuel consumption, and comfortable engine RPM during highway driving. As a result, the axle performs well in both local transport and on longer routes with a load.

Technical characteristics of the differential

The drive axle includes an integrated rear differential responsible for distributing torque between the wheels of the driven axle. The design is consistent with Ford's factory solutions, which facilitates installation in place of a worn or damaged component without the need for modifications to the suspension or drivetrain.

The selection of the I=3,58 gear ratio affects:

• lower engine RPM at constant driving speeds,
• smoother acceleration within the typical load range,
• stable vehicle behavior when fully loaded.

The axle is adapted for operation in a system with a diesel engine, meaning its characteristics are matched to the high torque available in the low and medium RPM ranges.

Practical service application

A used axle with a differential for the Ford Transit MK7 is a solution frequently chosen by professional workshops when repairing an existing unit is unprofitable or technically difficult. Using a complete component allows for reduced vehicle downtime and lower costs associated with the regeneration of individual sub-assemblies.

The component is intended for installation in the rear part of the vehicle (rear axle), in a configuration with a manual transmission. When selecting, it is worth paying attention to the gear ratio compatibility and drive type to maintain factory driving parameters and proper cooperation with the engine control system.

Gear ratio selection and vehicle compatibility

To properly select a drive axle for your driving style and the specifics of your Transit's operation, it is worth considering the weight of transported loads, the type of routes (city/highway), and the expected engine RPM at cruising speeds. The I=3,58 gear ratio is a compromise between dynamics and economy, suitable for many utility configurations.
