What year and model truck do you have? Do you have a manual? Even a cheap Chilton's manual is worth owning if you do your own repairs - but you can probably/usually get a factory manual from E-Bay.

"RF" in my book is generally Radio Frequency. But, I agree it's probably right-front here but, yeah, we need specifics as to year & model & whatever.

That was my first thought as well...the "what does it look like" threw me off as I assumed that someone wanting to change an axle would know what it looks like.

Sorry its a 1980 F150 4x4, I got paper work from the previous owner and it says it needs a RF axle and lock out hub. Any body know where I can order the axle?
