Tech Note 1: Conflicting Part Number 1988-1991
For the Model Years 1988 to 1991, there is conflicting part number information between Dana and Ford parts lists for the Ford F-350 Dana 60 Front Axle. In 1988, Dana shows a mid year model change with axle Bill of Material Number 610313 that effects the axle shafts, spindles, spindle seals, and lockout hubs. My Ford factory Parts Books do not show 610313 axle tag number until 1990 and they still show the parts to be the same as 1985 to early 1988 axles. I can't remember any F-350 that went through the shop that we found the Dana information to be wrong, but truthfully, unless we did not have the correct part in stock we probably would not compare the Dana and Ford parts data
Tech Note 2: Design Change
Ford F-350 Dana 60 front axles had an outer axle shaft axle design change that relocated the snap ring groove to the inboard end of the splines. Dana lists the new axle shaft as 1988 mid model year change but Ford does not show this change until 1992. If you are looking for an outer axle shaft for a 1988 to 1991 F-350, you will have to verify the snap ring groove location. QU40371 is the correct outer axle shaft if your 1988/91 F-350 has the snap ring groove at the inboard end of the splines. If your snap ring groove is at the outboard end of the splines, see QU40486!
Tech Note 3: Dimensions
QU40371 is 11.40" long from the center of the u-joint hole to the end of spline. QU40371 takes an internal c-clip type axle universal joint with 1-3/8" diameter cups. The matching axle u-joints are: QU30332 (greaseable hot-forged cross), TK40715 (Premium non-greaseable cold forged cross), and TK40724 (Premium greaseable cold forged cross). For u-joint service tools check out our U-Joint Tools web page.
Tech Note 4:Spindle Seal & Bearing Kit
The unitized factory Spindle Seal and Bearing Kit is QU40372. Personally, I prefer to change the Spindle Seal parts to the 1978 to 1988 version which has a steel press-on outer Axle Shaft Slinger QU40064 and uses Spindle Seal/Bearing Kit QU40168.

Product Reviews
-
High quality part that I couldn't find anywhere else.
I own an auto repair shop and use Torque King frequently. They always are knowledgeable and helpful and carry parts that are sometimes really difficult to locate. I highly recommend Torque King to anyone needing parts for 4 wd trucks.
