It will either be a 28 or 31 spline. I believe that most open rear ends used 28 spline and the limited slip rear ends used 31 spline.
no.
You should be able to use a 12 bolt. Check your spline count. Standard spline count is 30, you can change the axles to a 35 spline and gain as much as 89% strength. There are many vendors to help you with ordering the right parts. Let them know your use and horse power.
I believe 89's and up have 28 spline axles.
180 torque lbs too much and you F up the hub Bearing BE CAREFUL !! PS when sliding the 1/2 shaft spline in the bearing It is best to FREEZE the SPLINE in the refrigerator this shrinks the spline and slides in MUCH BETTER DO NOT BEAT IT IN !! you can damage the bearing like that !!
Type your answer here... you will need to take the yoke off the front diff. and count the teeth on it. if it has 28 teeth its a 28 spline or if it has 30 teeth its a 30 spline
3.73 conventional axle ( non - limited slip )
It will not go together, you will not be able to get the retaining plate to match up with the bolt holes until the splines are meshed together.
Saves input shaft spline
the purpose of the spline is to support the weight of your head
All of them,stick with a 92 and up,they are 8.8s,very strong 28 spline. 1996 up explorers and mountaineers are equipped with a disc brake 31 spline 8.8 and are commonly limited slip even stronger than the 28 spline they are sprintg under however but that can be fixed with a welder and some angle finders
It acts like it is stuck,And I have to be carefull not to grab the boot and pull on it.I'm just pulling on the metal bearing cup with the spline towars the transmission..Should I try and pry it with some kind of bar,Or is that metale ring at the end of the spline holding the shaft in?
