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!
1980 to 1984 Dodge Ramcharger/Plymouth Trailduster, W-150 1/2 ton truck, W-250 3/4 ton trucks with open knuckle Dana 44 Front Axles used NP208D part time transfer cases and had lockout hubs. With a part time transfer case and lockout hubs, the axle shafts and differential parts do not rotate, so extreme diff/pinion bearing wear is rather rare. However, the flip side is water condensation in the diff has a tendency to cause rust and pitting of the bearings If your vintage Dodge has been parked outside and subject to temperature changes, there is a good chance that significant water damage 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.
