Applications

Tech Note 1: Substitute
For the upper king pins on closed knuckle axles, Dodge, GM, International, and Jeep Dana Spicer Model 44HD, Model 60 and Model 70 front axles typically had QU40327 keyed Bronze Bushings instead of QU50600 Bearing. Ford used QU50600 Bearing. You can substitute QU50600 Bearing for QU40327 if desired or when stocks of QU40327 are exhausted. All vehicle manufacturers used QU50600 Bearing for the lower king pin in both closed knuckle and open knuckle Model 60, Model 61, and Model 70 front drive axles. QU50600 is also found in Dana 44HD closed knuckle axles.

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

Tech Note 3: Bearing Cup
The matching Bearing Cup is QU50601.
