I know that yours is a 2002, but...

Does this look right?


Hey, I'm trying...

Another one. This guy only ships to the lower 48. I could buy it, receive it, and forward it on to you.

Above guy could have knuckle too.


I understand your pain nicraage. Even worse being outside the states for these parts.

Dbb, he does not have king pin. That is completely different design. 78-79 Ford and 80s. Converting to king pin is costly.

Guys, I appreciate the notes. It's not kingpin, and it would bee too much for conversion.

I called "Solid" and they don't make one for 2002 dana 60. The ebay links, say it won't fit 2002 with dual piston front brake calipers, which is what I have. I guess I have a unicorn axle.
I appreciate the offer to forward something to me, but I don't think that will be necessary.

I'm sorry.
If I felt better about my skills/knowledge, I would go get one for you from a junkyard. I'm not even sure that I have the tools to do that.


The offer still stands to act as a shipper/receiver for you though (as long as we are not talking about "missing" nuclear warheads from the old soviet republic).

It's not a unicorn, it's just the most undesirable axle out there. Hence the very little aftermarket support. It's why converting to free-spin kits is so costly. On par to refurb a full axle that is desirable.

Tie rod location is lower too.

My old buddy here though ran that axle for a good few years without catastrophic problems. ARB locker on 38s. Worst part is steering. Ram assist is really the needed.

A couple knuckles just listed on ebay, and I grabbed one. Thanks for the help.
