Shop Now for 1974-1979 Dodge and Plymouth 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton 4x4 Dana 44 Front Axle Differential Bearings and Pinion Bearings. In stock for quick shipping.
All 1973 to 1981 Chevy K10/K20 and GMC K15/K25 4x4 trucks with open knuckle Dana 44 Front Axles use the same differential and pinion bearings.
All bearings are not created equal for fit or durability, so we only stock first class, long lasting, Timken® Differential and Pinion Bearings for your Dana front axle. Timken® was and is a a major original equipment supplier of top-notch bearing components to Dana Spicer. Since I first started rebuilding Dana axles in the mid 1970's, I have found Timken® Bearings to be the most consistent in relation to the published dimensions of any bearing on the market which makes rebuilding an axle right the first time a WHOLE lot easier!
All the 1974 to 1979 Dodge Ramcharger/Plymouth Trailduster, W-100/W-150 1/2 ton truck, and 1975-1979 Dodge W-200/W-250 3/4 ton trucks with open knuckle Dana 44 Live Spindle Front Axles used NP203 full time transfer cases so bearing wear issues on front axles can be expected on higher mileage trucks. With a full time transfer case, both axles are always powered during operation. The NP203 has an open type inter axle differential that can be locked for low traction conditions. If your vintage Dodge has over 150,000 miles on it, there is a good chance that significant bearing wear may have occurred on your differential and pinion bearings. When you replace the bearings, do not forget to replace the inner axle shaft oil seals.
