i have yet to see a list of bearing numbers for mine. you could buy a Master Rebuild kit. that comes with all bearings carrier out. They run about 250.

i know this is a ford kit but if they have it for a ford i dont see why they would not have a kit for a chevy. that is if this is some type of Dana kit. not sure

well i want to run high steer on my D44.
what i am wondering is if this track bar mount (seen below) will be sufficient fo what i want to do.
I am thinking I will have enough room to mount it just outside the coil. like hte second picture.

Actually i think it is. its only 24 bucks. i might beable to fit it over there. that would be the berries if i could.
here is a picture of it by request. ready to get sand blasted. i need to buy a press to get 3 ball joints out, other then that its all tore down from the outside.
Inside will get torn down and flushed out after it gets sand blasted.

actually yours is a jeep axle right? since i am pretty sure it is you have a narrower axle and you have a low pinion.
Hey Zach you might like to see this website. LOTS of Dana Axle info, including exploded diagrams and service manuals:

So after reading Joush D44 thread. I did some searching and found these Reid Racing Ford D44 High Steer Knuckles. They look like they will work with my axle. Anyone confirm this? For only 229each and being able to use the brakes/calipers from broncograveyard.com that would be a good alternative to getting a set of chevy knuckles and messing with the chevy spindle/bearings etc.

lol not all mall crawling
but i am not running a massive tire, i dont have a ton of power, and i have no rocks around here.
reason i have not gone wheeling much is i dont have the time and I am trying to pay off a bunch of stuff, truck is paid off in Feb08 trying to hold off til then.
not to mention I want a welder that the ebay bid is ending tonight, finally. (hope i win)
