The 30 spline inner Front Axle Shafts for the 1973-1975 Ford Dana 60 closed knuckle axles are no longer available new from any source I know of. The leading cause of axle shaft failure is lack of lubrication in the Knuckle Ball. If the oil leaks out of the Knuckle, your axle u-joints, king pin bearings and axle support bushing(s) go dry. With no lubrication, these parts will quickly fail.
The Closed Knuckle Ford Dana 60 axle uses solid cross, external snap ring universal joints without seals that are designed to be bathed in lubricant from the closed knuckle balls. By today's standards, these u-joints are undersized, but given the lighter vehicle weights and modestly powered engines of the early to mid 1970's, the joint size was adequate.
