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. 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.

Ford F-350 Dana 60 front axles had an inner axle shaft axle length change. 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 inner axle shaft for a 1988 to 1991 F-350, you will have to verify length. QU40487 is the correct left inner axle shaft if your 1988/91 F-350 left inner axle shaft measures 16.17" from the center of the u-joint hole to the end of the shaft. If your shaft length is 15.965", see QU40329!

Tech Note 2: C-Clip Type
QU40487 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 3: Seals
If you need an axle shaft, chances are you also need the inner axle oil seals located next to the differential. See QU40059 Oil Seal and QK4656 Seal Kit with installation tools.

Tech Note 4: Shoulder For Mounting
QU40487 has a shoulder for mounting QU40459 Outboard Axle Shaft to Axle Housing Dust Seal. The Dust Seal helps keep dust, dirt, and crud from getting into the axle housing tubes.
