The Dana 44 axle has been used under cars, trucks, and SUVs since the early'40s and uses a 8.5" ring gear with 10 ring gear bolts. It can be found in various configurations for both front and rear applications, standard and reverse rotation, in solid axle and IFS/IRS forms. Please review the ring and pinion gear specifications below to find the correct part number for your application.
Note that all Dana 44 axles feature a 3.73/3.92 carrier break. Differentials designed for 3.73 and numerically lower gears require "thick" gears for 3.92 and higher ratios. Differentials built for 3.92 and numerically higher ratios require standard (non-thick) gears and will not work with 3.73 and lower gears. (For more information and carrier breaks, click here.)
All front and rear low pinion Dana 44 axles (pinion gear enters below the axle center line) use standard rotation gears with the exception of Jeep JK Rubicon models. The following gears are a direct replacement for standard rotation Dana 44 axles:
