Applications

Tech Note 1: Always Replace
Always replace the cup and cone at the same time. The matching Bearing Cup is QU50406. For an original equipment Cup and Cone Set, see QU40183.

Tech Note 2: Bearing Installer
Use QT2005 Bearing Installer to seat this bearing on your pinion gear.

Tech Note 3: Shims
Until the late 1980's all Dana-Spicer Model 60 and 61 series axles used shims between the inner Pinion Bearing and the Pinion Head to set the pinion rotating preload. There may or may not have been a Slinger between the bearing and pinion head and/or a baffle under the cup. Many Model 60 axles built since that time use one or more shims between the Pinion Bearing and Pinion Head to set the pinion depth. Regardless of the shim configuration, the combined thickness of shims, and any inner Slinger or baffle is what will set the pinion depth. Gear sets and Pinion Shim Kits may fit several applications, so you may find you have a kit with an inner Slinger or baffle that differs from original. As a rule, unless otherwise instructed, only use an inner baffle or Slinger if your axle was originally built with the exactly the same type of part. The only exception would be when the gear or shim manufacturer specifically instructs you to use a different combination than original equipment.
