1993 D60 outer axle stub part number? Confused

[mblaney]

I am having problems finding the correct part number for the 30 spline outer axle stubs for my D60 (left and right are the same). For some reason my donor D60 came with stubs that don't have a clip ring at the spline, plus the shaft diameter at the needle bearing is 1.46" (needs to be 1.5")

I am finding lots of misinformation regarding the correct part number depending on the year of the axle (1993). Does anyone know the correct part for this? I need the snap ring groove at the outside end of the spline.

Yukon part D48903 looks good http://www.yukongear.com/ProductDetails.aspx?ProdID=3610

but the same number in Spicer is not right http://www.dennysdriveshaft.com/p16...ter_axle_1988_to_1998_f_350_with_dana_60.html

I looked up Yukon D620085 and that appears look right but that is specifically for 1979 - 1988???? The picture might just be borrowed from the 48903

These dana 60 don't have snap rings on them for the spindle or lock out, they stay in place by them self.

I just checked mine out and it read 1.47" but when I moved the caliper farther up I got 1.502" so apparently mine are worn out also

I'm not 100% sure but I think the axles that had auto locking hubs have something different with them as if I recall correctly you had to by a conversion kit before you put in manual hubs.

I'm guessing the only difference in the Yukon ones is one will have a snap ring grove and the other won't.

My outter stub shafts had a snap ring on both my D50 and D60. My D50 had warn hubs so I'm guessing it was probably convereted from auto to manual (it was an XLT Lariat truck). It might be worth heading over to Pirate 4x4 and checking out the D60 bible pages (do a google search). They have a page for tear down and assembly for a complete rebuild. There is also a bunch of parts interchange information and part numbers. That's where I got my procedures for checking preloads and the specs for everything.

I don't think that can be true; I don't have the axle in front of me but I believe that without a snap ring the axle will slid into the diff far enough that the yoke will rub on the end of the axle housing. According to the Dana parts list here http://www2.dana.com/pdf/X510-9.pdf on page 160, item #75, there is a snap ring?

The D60 hub is identical to the D50, which uses a snap ring. If there was some kind of spring pressure to push the axle out, keeping the spindle seal in contact, I could see not having a snap ring.

I just received my new stubs (axle outers) and they have a snap ring groove at the base of the spline, not at the end. Any additional info would be appreciated. My truck is rolling now with no front axles in it but I am pretty sure that the axles(s) are able to slide far enough into the diff that the yoke will rub the axle end. I just can't see this being allowed to float in and out.

ifrythings, can your axles slide far enough in to hit the axle tube? If the axle slides in (can't slide out because of the spindle seal) then steering will bind

What?
Not sure I understand what you're after.
Nothing holds the shafts from within the axle.
That's at the hub end.

it is best to have a snap ring on there, it keeps the dust seal pulled up against the spindle. Just cut a snap ring groove where you need it. hacksaw. or cutoff wheel

If you have the snap ring at the base of the splines you will need a washer and some shims that will pull the dust seal against the spindle.

One would think that the axles would slide in and hit the inner c's but they don't cause the cross pin in the diff gets hit way before.

The Dana 50 needs the snap ring because of the extra u-joint on the long side and the slip joint also, without the snap ring the stub shafts will fall out, being the Dana 60 is all solid shafts they don't move a lot but do suffer from poor dust seal contact.
