dana35

I recently rebuilt the front suspension of my 2002 Mazda B4000/Ranger. I installed rebuilt Cardone CV axles but even with new seals on the Dana 35 SLA they are leaking -- I suspect maybe ground down sealing surface too much or bad splines?? The OEM Ford or Mazda Axles are NLA and everthing else...

I've done some research in finding a front locker for my truck. I can find that my truck has the dana 35, but I can't find how many splines it has. Is it the same as the 28 in the factory rear axle? If so, what are my best options for cost vs quality for a front locker? Any help is appreciated...

does any one know if a 2000 ranger with standard pinion will work for my 1996 with a high pinion... both splines, diameters, size, and dana35 ifs all match up...also both are reverse rotation... so is the only difference the position in carrier/case????? HELP
