Construction & Design

The Wehrli Rear Differential Cover is expertly fabricated from premium-grade aluminum, chosen for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to rust and corrosion. This material ensures the cover withstands harsh conditions while minimizing added weight to the rear axle assembly. The cover’s design incorporates reinforced ribs and a contoured shape to provide maximum impact resistance and structural integrity.

Its vibrant Bengal Red powder coating is applied through a single-stage process, delivering a durable finish that resists chipping, fading, and corrosion.
