How to Buy Junkyard Axles
|
Dana 60 and Dana 70 axles both use the same differential cover even though the Dana 70 has a 10.54-inch ring gear versus the 9.75-inch ring gear of the Dana 60. Look in the lower right-hand corner of the housing to find the cast-in number to tell you which one you have. If there is no number, then it is cast into the pinion support on the backside of the axle. This is a photo of a Dana 70 axle. Notice the extra material on the flange that extends further than the steel differential cover. Dana 60s won’t have this extra lip. View Related Article
