To protect this bearing, Sonnax took the smart approach and replaced the OE black plastic washer with a large thrust bearing and roller clutch race. This re-routes the thrust load directly to the carrier, completely bypassing the delicate bearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold; font-size: 14pt; color: #eb5f26;\"\u003eStrengthening the Shell\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe SmartShell avoids the substantially increased weight found in other aftermarket shells. The Sonnax approach to improving the shell includes reinforcing the hub area with a laser-beam-welded collar. A final machining process after welding ensures precision alignment. The SmartShell splines undergo an advanced machining and heat-treating process, and the lugs that engage the drum are heat-treated, as well, to avoid flaring.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SunCoast Converters","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57273836372341,"sku":"SC-77749-02K","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/7656\/2037\/files\/F198646074_77c262b8-56a5-40a8-a00d-05b2d7cd94e1.jpg?v=1780953814","url":"https:\/\/wickeddieselva.com\/products\/sonnax-smart-shell-kit-sc-77749-02k","provider":"Wicked Diesel VA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
