Vehicle: 96 F-150 xl, 4x4,302, Standard cab, Front end labeled D-44, it has front quad shock option, all factory. e4od trans.

The yoke on the front drivers side outer drive axle broke. need to replace. Also replacing both front end ujoints, all 4 ball joints and bearings.

It was a little clunky in 4wd had all the parts but not the time to get to it, then the yoke busted and now 4wd is not an option. I called around and The only place that can get the axle kit (both pieces) to my area is advance auto but here is the quandary: they asked me what my wheel base was????

Here is a list of their part options:
109441 31 1/4" WB drive shaft assembly $215
109442 39 1/2" WB drive shaft assembly $215
109444 39 1/2" WB e4od 8cyc $215
4R70W 36" drive shaft assembly $215

These are exactly as listed on their computer.

I had no idea that there were 3 wheel base sizes for a dana 40 type front end on a 96 f-150 but, according to their computer, there are

Does anyone know which would fit based on the information I have provided?
I can pull the rest of the numbers from the sticker on the front end, but it is snowing out and I really dont feel like crawling under there until I can get it inside somewhere.

Thanks very Much,
Phil

 

Your post says drive axle. The parts list says drive shaft.

Which will it be?

 

You're right, fool at Advance was giving me drive shaft lengths, not front axle. Thats why they had so many. I specifically told them front axle assembly, I looked it up in the hayes manual before I called them. Well, that was a waste of time. Anybody know where I can get one of these. I tried Bronco graveyard but they are closed for the night.

 

Sorry, no quick help, but I'm pretty sure all TTB Dana 44 use the same axle. Should be an easy score from the wrecker.

 

Here it is:
OEM Dana 44 IFS LH Axle Assembly, 1980-96-Broncograveyard.com

Thanks for the help.

Best to all,
Phil
