Applications

Tech Note 1: Ball Joint Type
Dodge used the Ball Joint type Dana 60 front axle in Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 trucks from 1994 to 2002. All early 2002 and prior axles are equipped with CAD. During the 2002 model year, there was a mid-year model change to a no disconnect, constantly engaged front axle. QU40357U fits ALL 2000-2002 Dodge Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 front axles with or without CAD.

Tech Note 2: C-Clip Type
QU40357U takes an internal c-clip type axle universal joint with 1-3/8" diameter cups. The matching axle u-joints are: QU30332 (greaseable hot-forged cross), TK40715 (Premium non-greaseable cold forged cross), and TK40724 (Premium greaseable cold forged cross). For u-joint service tools check out our U-Joint Tools web page.

Tech Note 3: To Replace
To replace your outer axle shaft, you must remove the brake rotor, wheel hub and axle shaft assembly from the axle.

Tech Note 4: When Replacing Right Outer Axle Shaft
If you are replacing the right outer axle shaft on an axle with Central Axle Disconnect (CAD), engage four wheel drive before starting disassembly. This will slide the CAD shift collar to the left and onto the differential output shaft splines. If you pull the shaft in 4x2 mode, the shift collar will drop out of position. If this happens, remove the CAD shift unit from the axle and align the collar. Always replace QU40090 CAD Housing Gasket if you remove the CAD Shift Housing.

Tech Note 5: Inner Axle Seals
Given the era of trucks this shaft fits, it is recommended you replace the inner axle seals which can become hard and brittle with age. For Inner Axle Shaft Seal Kits with oil seals and installation tools see: QK4621 2000-2002 with CAD and QK4802 2002 non-CAD.
Left Seal, All Years: Pressed into the left axle tube next to the differential for all years. Differential removal is required. Use QU40298 Seal.
Right Seal, 2000-2002.5 with CAD: Pressed in the axle tube outboard of the CAD shift unit. CAD shift unit and right axle shaft removal required to replace seal. Use QU40271 Seal.
Right Axle Seal 2002 without CAD: Pressed into the right axle tube next to the differential. Differential removal is required. Use QU40298 Seal.

Tech Note 6: Available 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 QT1065 C-Frame Press, QT4009 Large U-Joint Separator Yoke, QT4011 Press Tip and QT4015 Press Anvil.
