D60 Front Axle Problems
I have an '88 F-350 with Dana 60 reverse in the front. (Solid of course.)
"The axle shaft appears to be loose. I can wiggle it at the u-joint (up and down, not in and out), but the wheel itself seems to be tight."
Quoted from Fullcrew7.3
I have the same problem with my U-Joints and when I am in four wheel drive my front axle makes pretty nasty sounds.
I have not been driving my truck for quite some time because of an engine problem. I'm putting a better conditioned 460 in it but i'm rebuilding the new one before it goes in, so my truck will be off the road for awhile.
I was wondering if anybody knew what is wrong and what needs to be replaced.. and if possible how?
I don't do much with axles. The most I have done is change my rotor when my brakes went out. (Which I may add was the worst looking rotor I have seen in my life.)
Any help appreciated.

That thuur is a perrrrty rotor.
Didnt even occur it was bad untill it destroyed a caliper and my brakes went out.

Look at page 5, parts from 47 to 51.
Yeah I know that is a 50 IFS, but the parts picture is better than the one on the 60 axle.
