Applications

Tech Note 1: Shims/Spacer
Until the later 1980's, almost all Dana-Spicer axles used reusable shims to set the pinion preload. Most, but not all Model 30, 44, and 50 axles built since that time use QU40208 non-reusable collapsible spacer (crush sleeve) for preload.

Tech Note 2: Always Replace
Always replace the cup and cone at the same time.

Tech Note 3: Matching Bearing Cup
The matching Bearing Cup is QU50533.

Tech Note 4: 4x4 Tech Publication
Rebearing service procedures are covered in my TM4400 Pinion and Differential Bearing Service on Dana-Spicer Monobeam Axles.
