Thats the bearing cup. To be technical.

Anyways, it needs to fit in there snug, if its not, it will cause you a headache.

The only fix for it is to use something like bearing set, which I have not seen any of in a long time, or to buy a new hub.
I had to do this (both) on my f150. luckily the guy's place I worked on it at had bearing set.
It works like loctite, but resists different style forces.

It lasted a few months till I had the money to replace the hub properly.

If the cup has no damage on it, the seat for it is probably spun out in the hub.

I would probably try a new bearing and race.
It is worth the peace of mind.

The race should have to be driven in with a punch.

I would not get a whole new hub unless the new race does not fit in there snug. Just get a gearing. it should come with a new race.
Tap it in there and pack the new bearing re-install.

I can't remember the price I would say around $20 -$25 ???

Also a hub from a D60 or D50 will work. Easy to find at a scrap yard.

Yep, just put the hubs from a '97 D50 on my '94 Dana 60 front I'm using in my 4x4 swap...

Everything fit great.

Not mine https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...and-gears.html

If it will fit in a flat rate box, shipping won't be too bad either.

Nah. Hubs, rotors, brake calipers, spindle locknuts, and lockouts are the same for the 50 and 60. The brake components are limited by the years, but everything else is interchangeable from '85-'97.

I have pinged a hub before for the same problem, use a center punch to ding up the surface where the race drives in, makes it tight again.
