- Cross-reference: This part cross-references YG GM7.5-411 and ZG GM7.5-410 for the same application.
Detailed Description
This Dorman differential ring and pinion is built for rear axle service where the original gear set needs to be replaced with the correct 4.10 ratio. It is listed for a wide range of applications, including Chevrolet S10, Blazer, Camaro, Astro, GMC Sonoma, Jimmy, Safari, Pontiac Firebird, and Oldsmobile Bravada models, along with additional Buick, Chevrolet, GMC, Pontiac, and Isuzu vehicles. The part number 697-306 is a direct OE replacement for specific 7.5-inch and 7.625-inch ring gear applications, with fitment notes that vary by year and axle configuration.
Compatible With 1975-2005 Chevrolet S10, rear; 1977-2002 Chevrolet Camaro, rear; 1978-1981 Chevrolet Caprice, rear; 1993-2005 Chevrolet Astro, rear; and other listed rear axle applications. The Dorman 697-306 is a practical choice when restoring factory gearing, correcting axle ratio changes, or replacing worn differential gears on supported vehicles.
What It Is Used For
- Replacing worn or damaged differential ring and pinion gears
- Restoring the original 4.10 axle ratio
- Repairing rear-end noise caused by gear wear or improper mesh
- Addressing driveline performance issues after axle service
- Returning supported Chevrolet S10, Camaro, and GMC Sonoma rear axles to proper operation
Installation Notes and Tips
Installation kit is not included. Differential gear setup requires careful measurement of backlash, pinion depth, and bearing preload, along with verification of axle spline count and ring gear size noted in the fitment data. Confirm the rear axle configuration before ordering, especially on vehicles with multiple axle variants such as 26-spline and 28-spline applications. For best results, compare the existing gear ratio and axle housing details to the vehicle-specific notes listed for Dorman 697-306.
Quality Assurance
Dorman supplies standard replacement drivetrain components engineered to match the original equipment application on listed vehicles. This part is built for direct replacement use on confirmed fitments and follows the specifications shown for the supported rear differential applications.
