Is This Monobeam?????
Looking to do my front brakes but unsure as to what monobeam is. When I look under the front I see a Round Bar/Beam going to both tires...Is that the Monobeam??? 2000 F350 SUPERDUTY CC DUALLY TRUCK. Thanks In advance, Feel kinda stupid. Any Recommendations on which rotors to replace with?

is your truck 4 wheel drive? if it is then yes you have monobeam. straight axle is the common mans term for it. your front axle will look nearly the same as your rear axle. if you are 2 wheel drive then you don't have monobeam you will a have an independ front suspension. as far as replacement rotors i use napa parts all the way around.
hope that helps

some super duty f-350 duallies may have a straight front axle when they are 2wd but not all of them. i think most passenger models have IFS. and most of the stetched cab/chassis model have solid axle. i am no expert but i know i have worked duallie super dutys with coil spring IFS. but in this case he has a 4WD with a dana 60 and ford calls that a monobeam.

Actually on a 2000 4x4, front axle is a Dana 50. The Dana 60 does not arrive until the 2002 Model year.
