Ok I went to a local yard today to check out some $100-$150 axles. One of the axles was this one.
Heavy Duty Dana 44 hub and lock-out from a 1976 Ford F250 4x4. It also has a much larger knuckle and brakes. Compare this picture to the above one to show the different hubs the Dana 44 axle had. This hub and lock-out ran only in HD Dana 44's from 1969- early 1977.
The other was under a 87 XJ and I think it was a D44. The guy quoted me $200 if I pull it. If it's a 44 would it hold up to my abusive style? 94 2.5L, AX-5, 231, 33's! Or should I forget about it and go straight to the 9" I went out there looking for?
I also saw an axle that was a 94 model with disc brakes and a third member type ring gear. It also had an electrical thing going into the third member? Locker? Or speed sensor? It was 64" WMS to WMS. Also was a coil spring mounted axle.
He also had some D60's I believe. Oh and I saw another CV booted XJ front axle while I was poking around!
