Tech Note 1: Matching U-Joints
TK52308 uses stock size universal joints made to Spicer 1480 Wheel Joint dimensional specifications. The yoke holes are 1-3/8" in diameter cups and the inside span between the yoke ears is 3". The matching u-joints for TK52308 Axle Shaft are: QU30332 (hot-forged, greaseable) TK40715 (cold-forged, non-greaseable), and TK40724 (cold-forged, greaseable).

Tech Note 2: Tech Help
An awful lot of axle shafts and new axle shaft universal joints are wrecked by slam-bang methods of service. Do it right the first time. See my Technical Service Bulletin TSB4610 Super Duty Front Axle Shaft Service or my Super Duty® and Excursion Front Axle Service Manuals TM4688 or TM4637.

Tech Note 3: U-Joint Tools
Most axle shaft universal joint service is done using makeshift tools and hammering on the parts until something gives. Axle Shafts and Axle universal joints are precise components that can be easily damaged by such slam-bang work. There is a better way to perform u-joint service using application specific press tooling and approved service procedures. See our U-Joint Tools web page or our individual Tool Pages for QT1065M C-Frame Press, QT4009 Large U-Joint Separator Yoke, QT4011 Press Tip and QT4015 Press Anvil.

Tech Note 4: Axle Models
Ford initially used a Dana 50 front axle on Super Duty F-250 and single Rear Wheel (SRW) F350 4x4 trucks. As far as I have seen all the dually F350's have a Dana 60, but for 2000-2002 you have to verify which axle you have for F-250 and F-350 SRW models as both Dana 50 and Dana 60 axles were subsequently used for these trucks. Externally, the two axles appear identical so you must be sure which axle you have before ordering inner axles shafts and differential parts as they NOT interchangeable between the two axle models. As far as I can determine, the Dana 50 was last used in 2002 in the F250/F350, however there good be some base engine or fleet models with a 50 through 2004. If you are unsure of which axle model you have, call us with the seven digit axle take number that begins with a "6" (ex: 611159-2)
