STRANGE ULTRA REAR
4 LINK HOUSING
■ Strange Engineering, the leader
in driveline and suspension for over
50 years continues to innovate and
expand its line of superior products
with the introduction of the Ultra
4 Link Housing. The Strange Ultra
Rear was specifically designed to
meet the needs of the most abusive
racers. The core of the Ultra Rear is
crafted from superior 206-T4 heat
treated aluminum. The Strange
housing is further strengthened by
hot isostatic pressing (HIP) which
maximizes strength, ductility, while
improving fatigue life. The fully ma-
chined aluminum housing and com-
ponents ensure precise alignment
of wheels. The fully ribbed housing
design and integrated bottom brace
reduce deflection and offer better
support than fabricated housings.
The Ultra 4 link housings are
currently available in both floater
and 2 piece axle designed and will
accommodate 16”, 17”, 18”, 19”, 20”,
21”, 22”, and 23” 4 link centers with
wheel to wheel widths ranging from
31.5” to 48”. For more information,

NEW FROM SONNAX—
THE ULTIMATE 4L60E
REACTION SHAFT UPGRADE
■ High-horsepower 4L60E builds
are everywhere these days thanks
to the cutting-edge innovation
and unrivaled quality of Sonnax
shaft, clutch, servo and valve body
upgrades. The newest addition to
company’s robust lineup of per-
formance parts is a heavy-duty,
chromoly reaction shaft ideal for
any modded vehicle running the
4L60E hard on the street or track.
OE and aftermarket reaction
shafts made from plain carbon
steel often exhibit spline twist and
fretting/wear in high-torque ap-
plications, especially when used in
heavy vehicles. To eliminate these
problems, the Sonnax shaft is made
from a high-strength, chromoly al-
loy that guarantees the ultimate in
performance and durability.
In developing the shaft, Sonnax
62 | D r a g
added not just strength, but ease
of use. Its unique design — plus
the bearings and shim included
in the kit — allow quick assembly
with any style input carrier. This
includes all four- and five-pinion
carriers found in the 700-R4/4L60,
4L60-E, 4L65-E, 4L70-E or 4L75-
E, as well as the Sonnax 2.84 ratio,
six-pinion carrier.
The Sonnax heavy duty reaction
shaft kit (Part No. 74602-01K) is
recommended for new performance
builds or when pulling a tranny out
for refresh/rework. It’s most critical
for vehicles running above 400HP,
fitting squarely within the popu-
lar Sonnax Level 3 build category
designed for extreme applications.
