Dana 44 Ring Gear Swap Question

Yes you can. BUT do a pattern check and back lash check before so you can get it close when it goes back together in the different housing.

Thanks much!

Next question, would I be best to transfer the shims out of the closed knuckle axle, or use the shims that are in the new axle? I will definitely check the wear patterns and such, but would it be better to keep the shims and oil slinger with the donor pinion?


Thanks, Clay
