DESCRIPTION
Front axle assembly consists of differential carrier, housing
tube, inner shaft and drive axles. A full-floating axle design is
used. Drive axles are flexible assemblies made up of inner and outer
CV joints. Birfield Joints (BJ) and Double Offset Joints (DOJ) are
used at opposite ends of each drive axle.
AXLE RATIO & IDENTIFICATION
Ratio is determined by dividing number of ring gear teeth by
number of drive pinion teeth.

position. Place transfer case in 2H position. Remove drive hub cover,
snap ring and shim from drive axle. Remove brake calipers and wire out
of way.
2) Using dial indicator, check drive axle end play. Rotate
drive axle forward and rearward until maximum end play is obtained.
End play must be adjusted during reassembly if not within .008-.020"
(.20-.50 mm). Disconnect tie rod assembly. Support lower control arm

Use care not to damage oil seal. On right drive axle, remove drive
axle-to-inner shaft retaining bolts. Remove right drive axle.
CAUTION: Support lower control arm during drive axle removal and
installation.
CAUTION: Always replace circlips on BJ splines of left drive axle
and splines of inner shaft.
INSTALLATION
1) Install right drive axle on inner shaft. Install new
circlip on BJ side of left drive axle. Drive left drive axle into
differential. Use care not to damage oil seal.
2) Reinstall knuckle with front hub assembly. If drive axle
end play requires adjustment, select proper shim to obtain proper end
play. Shim is located behind snap ring on end of drive axle. Install
shim and recheck axle end play. Install remaining components in
reverse of removal procedure.
DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER R & I
REMOVAL
1) Raise and support vehicle. Drain gear oil. Support
