Weld-On Housing Ends - Small GM w/3.150 Bearing

The Weld-On Housing Ends - Small GM w/3.150 Bearing is an essential component for serious rear axle builders and street/strip enthusiasts working with General Motors differentials. Designed for custom welded axle assembly, these housing ends allow fabricators to create lightweight, high-strength differentials tailored to specific performance applications.

These housing ends feature a precise 3.150-inch bearing bore diameter, engineered to accept standard GM small-block differential bearings with minimal runout. The weld-on design simplifies assembly by eliminating the need for C-clips or retainer plates, while full-perimeter welding maximizes axle strength. Strange Engineering's manufacturing tolerances ensure concentric bearing surfaces that maintain proper preload geometry, reducing noise and vibration during power delivery.

Builders working with Small GM platforms, such as S-10, Astro, and early Corvette models, rely on these housing ends for OEM-compatible bearing dimensions and repeatability. Installation requires MIG or TIG welding expertise, making these housing ends ideal for those fabricating custom axle housings from DOM tubing or building dedicated drag setups, street machines, or circle-track competitors.
