dana 35 rebuild

[1991 Blue danger ranger]

I'm rebuilding the front axle in my truck (minus gears and diff bearings) since ive got to do the ball joints, and im having a hard time getting all of the parts together. ive got the diff axle seals (i think), 3 u joints, spindle bearings and seals, ball joints. no rotors, brake pads or wheel bearings as ive done them all recently and know they dont need work.

So, what are you having trouble locating? Sounds like you have the common rebuild parts.

I’m just worried I haven’t got everything, seems like there’s about 15 seals to replace.

I’ve been trying to use that but the part numbers are all proprietary, trying to go by part name but it’s been a bit of a struggle.

There really isnt that much to it. It sounds like you just want to do whats between the diff and the wheels. The differential axle shaft seals, u-joints, spindle bearings and seals (which you can get as a kit) and I would recommend having new inner wheel seals on hand in case they get messed up in the process. Only other part in there would be the boot over the splined joint in the passenger side axle shaft.
