If you rewind, you\\u2019ll recall Strange completely went through the 60-series rear, came up with a center section casting and in the process fixed the shortcomings of the original rear end. Best of all, it\\u2019s offered in all sorts of different layouts designed to fit a wide cross section of cars and you order anything from a bare housing to a complete rear end assembly.\\n\\nIn the photos that follow, we\\u2019ll complete out look at the bad boy of the rear end boulevard.  It\\u2019s a nice piece (super stout too!).

In the old days, it wasn\\u2019t uncommon for racers and enthusiasts to brace the perch.  This little welding job here pretty much does the same thing.&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.racingjunk.com\\\/news\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2022\\\/03\\\/Dana-18-min-scaled.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;84461&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Strange Engineering Reinvents The Dana 60 Part 2&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Strange Engineering Reinvents The Dana 60 Part 2&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Another important feature of Strange\\u2019s S60 program is the fact they can provide different perches for different springs.  The perch shown here is setup for a multi-leaf spring (2-3\\\/4-inches wide). They can also supply a perch for a monoleaf spring package (2-9\\\/16-inches wide).&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.racingjunk.com\\\/news\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2022\\\/03\\\/Dana-19-min-scaled.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;84462&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Strange Engineering Reinvents The Dana 60 Part 2&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Strange Engineering Reinvents The Dana 60 Part 2&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Internal adjusters are supplied as standard equipment in the S60 case.

This eliminates the huge mess that arises when you pull the back cover off for inspection or service.&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.racingjunk.com\\\/news\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2022\\\/03\\\/Dana-21-min-scaled.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;84464&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Strange Engineering Reinvents The Dana 60 Part 2&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Strange Engineering Reinvents The Dana 60 Part 2&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Up front, the S60 accepts any conventional Dana 60 yoke \\u2013 standard Dana-Spicer pieces with a dust seal or high performance billet models.&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.racingjunk.com\\\/news\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2022\\\/03\\\/Dana-22-min-scaled.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;84465&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Strange Engineering Reinvents The Dana 60 Part 2&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Strange Engineering Reinvents The Dana 60 Part 2&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;A nice option available with the S60 is this cool cast aluminum cover. It\\u2019s a premium casting that is considerably thicker than standard.&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.racingjunk.com\\\/news\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2022\\\/03\\\/Dana-23-min-scaled.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;84466&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Strange Engineering Reinvents The Dana 60 Part 2&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Strange Engineering Reinvents The Dana 60 Part 2&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;There\\u2019s no need for a girdle or housing back brace on the S60.

Simple.
