the radius arm bushing have actually already been done. I did those when I had to replace the radius arm brackets cause they were cracked.

There is no need to replace the alignment bushings unless you have lifted or are going to lift the front end.

Looks like I need axle shaft seals and maybe an axle spindle seal....

anything else I'm missing?

Trying to minimize the runs needed to the auto parts store after I tear into this project.

Are you tearing it down all the way to the axle seals?

o i will be tearing apart the truck this weekend. Just so I can make sure I have everything, this is what I've gathered from the other post.


Wheel Bearings
Axle-Pivot Bushings
Axle-Shaft Bushings
Camber Bushings

Anything else I may need?

I just rebuilt the front end on my ttb dana 50. Here's what I did FWIW:

- Swapped auto hubs for Spicer locking hubs
- Replaced all 3 ujonts, + the driveshaft ujoint at the axle
- New spindle nut kits
- New carrier seals
- 1 new wheel bearing
- All ball joints
- All brake components
- 1 TRE

I think that's it. The spindle seals on mine were fine. One thing I didn't replace was the TTB bushings (whatever they're called).

I've got the dana 44 IFS.

I've checked all my I joints and they're all good.

I've already replaced my radius arm bushings.

I know I'll have to pull the hubs out to drop the knuckles. I will look into a service kit for those.

what additional seals should I look into?

I was told I might need camber bushings...this was from an alignment shop. from the research I've done there are a variety of different ones I can buy. lucky for me the shop I'm using has an alignment machine...any idea where I can get my camber/toe specs?

I'm also planning on replacing axle shaft bushings (or bearings), wheel bearings (maybe?) and the axle pivot bushing (if needed)
