Re: Shortening Axles- Dana 60 Rear and 44 Front
They changed from ball bearing to tapered bearing at some point. There is also the load bolt that is always on the 72 and occasionally on the 52. Big long thread on Pirate. Good info. You can convert to 14 bolt shafts and 14 bolt Detroit and get away from the coarse spline axles.
There are a couple of threads over there as well on making an HO52 front axle and a few guys running them.
