Front Dana 44 assembly?
I bought an axle that was torn down, the knuckles, spindles, and the caliper brackets were off when I got it. Does anyone know if the brackets go on the knuckles first of after the spindles?

Spindles go first, then dust shield, then caliper bracket...be sure to check the needle bearing inside the spindle....it supports the outer stub shaft.
Print this out...stick it in your toolbox

What year is it? Mine is 77 d44 with 8 lugs and dual piston calipers.
Knuckle first -dust shield-caliper bracket-axle shaft-spindle, in that order.
EDIT: I was into it today replacing front axles and i don't like giving incorrect info, it's caliper bracket then shield followed by spindle, sorry about that my beer musta been getting warm.

Just a poor diagram, look at the knuckle with 5 studs then caliper bracket, shield and spindle 4holes with bolts? Slinger on outer shaft twice
