Applications

Tech Note 1: U-Joint Specs
TK40922 Axle Shaft takes universal joints made to Spicer 1350WJ dimensional specifications. The cup diameter for these u-joints is 1-3/16". The 4 cups are grooved to accept Inside C-Clip Snap Rings. The installed Clips fit against the machined inner faces of the axle shaft yokes. The distance between the inside of the axle shaft yoke ears is 2-3/16". For matching u-joints, see TK40712 and QU90007.

Tech Note 2: 1977 Change
The Ford F250 underwent a major, mid-year model change in 1977 effective with serial number Y20001. Regular Cab F250 4x4s built before serial number Y20001 are "high boy" models with remote mount transfer cases and Dana 44 front axles with bolt-on type hub locks or drive flanges. 1977 regular cab 4x4s built after serial number Y20000 are "low boy" models with direct mount transfer cases and Dana 44 front axles with internal spline mount hub locks or drive gears. TK40922 fits Y20000 and lower serial number 1977 trucks.

Tech Note 3: Fits
TK40922 only fits 1976-1977.5 regular cab F-250 trucks. Crew cab F250 models have a Dana 60 front axle.

Tech Note 4: Axle Shaft Failures
Outer axle shaft operating failures are usually a result of either a broken axle u-joint or a dry spindle bearing. Good preventative maintenance can usually prevent those type of failures. A good number of axle shafts are also wrecked by poor service procedures during u-joint replacement. Over the years I have seen a lot of axle shafts with bent or broken yokes caused by the slam-bang u-joint removal and installation methods. A QT1065M C-Frame Press with the correct adapters is both the safest and best way to remove or install axle u-joints.
