2002 Super Duty - What is the rear axle?

[monel_funkawitz]

Is it a Dana 80? I have to rebuild mine this weekend.

I have some gear noise. Popped the cover off, and the carrier moves side to side about 3/8". I saw somewhere that the axle is not a normal Dana 80 in some Fords. I need to know what bearings are in it. Anyone have a good break down on this axle?

Thanks!

Dana 80 for dually 10.5 for srw

It is a SRW. I'm having a hard time finding what I need. By the movement, I suspect the carrier bearings are bad. Just trying to find out how big of a project this is. I'm hoping that it is a simple bearing swap.

Your truck has a sterling 10.5 . The bearing swap is simple , though they do get pressed on and off (most local napa's can do it for you or machine shops if you don't have a press ). There are shims in there too that you need to put back in the proper location , one may be thicker than the other . Also make sure you don't mix the caps up . Keep them on the side they came off of and in the same direction .

Although you say there is 3/8 inch movement , I gotta believe you are gonna have some other issues as well , maybe not though , would have to see it .

Where can I get the bearings? The usual Ebay isn't turning up much. 'Zone just has pinion bearings. I'm hoping it is just this simple and the rear isn't toast.

Ok. Found the bearing kit. I'm gonna try doing the whole bearing rebuild.

Oh yea , torque the caps to proper specs . I forget what it is .
