Chassisworks offers a complete floater-axle and brake system designed for pro-touring that is stronger and more reliable than the Corvette ZR1 bearing. Check out the official release below.

Official Release:

Today’s top pro-touring vehicles often push the reliability and safety limits of standard flange-style axles that are commonplace on most muscle cars. Chassisworks solution to raising the performance ceiling is a complete floater-axle and brake system designed specifically for the leading-edge pro-touring market. Identical in performance and safety benefits to race-style floater systems, Chassisworks’ system also integrates an optional drum-style parking brake mechanism for more practical use on street-driven vehicles. The floater system features a tapered-roller unit-bearing that is larger, stronger, and more reliable than the Corvette ZR1 bearing. The unit bearing bolts to a specially designed housing end, removing all weight and bending load from the axles. The axle is left with the sole purpose of transferring torque to the wheels and can then be designed as a simple axle shaft with splines at both ends. Recent development of 35-spline differentials for Ford 9” and Chevy 12-bolt rear axle housings allows you to take advantage of the Chassisworks 35-spline axle with its significantly increased strength over smaller 31-spline axles. To provide ample braking force for sometimes 14” and wider tires, brake kits are offered with 14” or 15” x 1.25” vented and cross-drilled rotors, with 4-piston Wilwood or Baer radial-mount calipers.
