Dana 60 axle bearing part II

Shawn Blair · 02-19-2010, 12:44 PM

What spline axle's are you running and what's your bearing OD? I run 40 spline Mark Williams axle's in my car and you have to use there housing end's because the bearing is bigger. This might be your problem. These end's have the Mopar 5 bolt pattern just a bigger ID for the bearing. How i got the Wilwood brackets to work was, I took a stock Mopar housing end and bolted the bracket to the end and chucked it up in the lathe. Then cut the recess in the bracket to take the larger bearing, just make sure you don't cut the recess deeper just open up the OD! Hope this helps
