Ferrari Lusso Rear Axle

After detailing all of the hardware and countless hours adjusting the pinion depth, pre-load, back lash and differential pre-load, the Lusso axle is finished. I really wish Ferrari took notes from GM when building these axles, the amount of shims and in and out of the parts practically destroys the housings before evertyhting is adjusted.

The axle tubes are powder coated and all hardware is black oxide finished. The pinion is converted to tapered roller bearings. The brakes are all new and once I get the tube nuts back from the plating shop, I can finish up the plumbing for the brake fluid.
