D44 bearing retainer ring

[spaulman]

Can the bearing retainer ring for a D44 be purchased by itself? I'm doing the disc brake conversion on my D44. I am setting up a spare set of shafts that have good bearings and really don't want to shell out $40 for new bearings if I can just find the retainer ring by itself. I called Autozone and Napa and neither one of them could find the ring by itself. Does it have a special name? Anyone??

This should be the part number at the dealer...
Mopar #83504190
...or call DrivetrainDirect or visit your local Dana/Spicer dealer. One of these places should have what you want.

That part # is coming up as the retainer plate. I'm looking for the bearing ring/collar that is towards the splined part of the shaft. It might just be easier to just buy the new bearings rather than wasting time tracking down just the collar.

sorry i can't help you... i bought the bearings and retainers as a set. timken's catalog only lists the set as well: 'SET10' is the part #
