Title: dana 70 closed knuckle front axle
Post by: mutt truck on February 25, 2014, 05:24:45 AM
So my question is can u take a 70 closed knuckle shafts and replace them with 60 u joint shafts?
Everything that I can look up as far a specs tell me that as long as the splines on the inners are the same that it should work, but I am not sure about the clearance of the u joint where the ball and socket goes if there will be enough room?     Wondering if anyone has done or knows of someone that may have done this. Thanks
