Front Locking Hub Thrust Washers

[FlyinRyan86]

Does anyone have a part number for the set of three washers (two metallic, one non metallic) that go underneath the snap ring, visible after removing the hub lock assy? Can I get these any place besides a ford dealer? My F350 only has one metal one on the driver side and two metal ones on the pax side, no non metallic ones at all. Could explain the grinding noise when the hubs are locked, maybe yes?

FlyinRyan go to this website and put in your vin# and you might be able to pull up the parts you need. Official Ford Parts Site | Buy Motorcraft & OEM Ford Parts Online | FordParts.com
I know it's through the dealer but that is the only place i know of. I did a quick search and this was all i find. Sorry i couldn't help more. BTW That is exactly what is causing your problem.

Bentley, I did try that site already, but couldn't locate my washers by searching or categories. Mebbe I'll call the stealership tomorrow... I'll put the P/N up if I find it

Hey Bruce51D, Diesel O-Rings! I love that site. At first glance I didn't realize you posted anything. Sweet, I'll have me a couple sets shipped quickfast and in a hurry!

FlyinRyan Diesel O-Rings is the Bomb, Bob is great to work with, ships quick and will get you exactly what you need. I just didn't know he carried the thrust washers

[FlyinRyan86]

ok.... new washers are here. Passenger side went in fine, driver side there isn't enough room between the snap ring and the hub for all three washers. There is some axial play in the axle, but not enough to get the space I need. Got out the rubber tipped pliers and pulled on the axle splines as hard as I could. I'm freaking out, is this the result of an axle or diff rebuild gone wrong?

Did you pull the axle out during this process? If so, its gotta be an issue of lining up something that isn't quite lined up. Do you have any axle play in and out?

[FlyinRyan86]

Yes there's about an eighth to three sixteenths of an inch in and out play. Even at full out the groove for that snap ring isn't far out enough to get all 3 washers in.

Does the axle itself feel like its lined up correctly? I know there are only certian ways they can go in. Just shootin ideas
