Tech Note 1: Inner Ends
With one exception (See Tech Note 5), 1971-1990 Dodge D/W350 series truck Dana 70 Rear Axle Shafts have 1-1/2" 35 spline inner ends. Both left and right axle shafts are the same length on a given axle.

Tech Note 2: Narrow or Wide Track?
Dodge built 1971-1990 duallys with both narrow track and wide track Dana 70 rear axles. Narrow track axles are typically found on cab and chassis models with 34" wide frame rails. Wide track axles were used on pickup models or cab and chassis trucks with 37" frame rails. TK40586 Narrow track axle shafts measure 36.94" from splined end to inside face of the axle shaft flange. TK40585 Wide track axle shafts measure 39.44" from splined end to inside face of the axle shaft flange

Tech Note 6: Wear
If your axle shaft splines are worn (a common occurrence), chances are the differential side gear splines are also worn. Installing a new axle shaft in worn gears will result in accelerated axle shaft spline wear which is not covered by our parts warranty. Replace worn differential side gears when replacing an axle shaft with visible spline wear!
