Dan the Gear Man® Tech Notes:

Applications

Tech Note 1: Drum Brakes
QU40630 Spindle only fits 4x4s with front drum brakes. Ford did not introduce front disc brakes for the Bronco and F100 4x4s until the start of the 1976 model year.

Tech Note 2: Seal Differences
A small number of late production axles may be found with QU20040 2" ID Rubber V-Seal instead of QU40043 Spindle to Axle Shaft Seal. The two seal types are functionally interchangeable.

Tech Note 3: Installation
Before installing your new spindle, lube the bearing, seals, and thrust washer with QU90018 Pyroplex® grease. Also, apply some Anti-Seize Compound to the mating surfaces between the spindle and steering knuckle.
