Who still make decent spiders gears with all the China knock off and India made stuff out there now? Ford racing Trac lock in the white beater just started groaning on turns, pulled the cover and looks like the spiders have a ton of slop in them, backlash and clutch packs still looking decent but. Its a ford racing unit, looks like ford got happy with the list price of the M-4204-F318C diff. https://performanceparts.ford.com/part/M-4204-F318C. Google just brings up tons of knock off China units. I have a few bearing and install kits but no diffs.

I know you can still get the 31 slpine truck units under AL3Z-4026-A, not sure if there normal clutch packs or ford consolidated it to the carbon lined stuff after all the revisions, but you can that part number for around $220. not sure if ford sell just the spiders any more though, Yukon was India production last I checked and seen way to many fail to use theirs, us standard same deal. Not seeing much else googling.

What about USA Standard stuff?

USA Standard ZIKF8.8-S-28 USA Standard Gear standard spider gear set for Ford 8.8", 28 spline

Denny’s Driveshaft has a really good rep so I would hope they sell decent parts.

Us standard and Yukon are one in the same, pretty much selling the same product and branding Yukon as there higher line.... after rebuilding a Yukon duragrip that ate the spider gears on a 11 sec car in less than 5 track passes, not a company I would suggest. Stock ford stuff was stronger, the Eaton its a copy of in my red cars damn near 30 years old now and out lived a housing and a set of mosers. Ford still has the spider gears from AAM, found the part number but lol looks like its better to just buy a whole truck unit for a few bucks more.
