Product Overview
During hub, bearing, U-joint, or axle-shaft service, a missing or worn thrust washer and snap ring can leave the outer shaft with incorrect endplay. This kit restores the retention hardware at the wheel end after the spindle and hub components are inspected.
The rings and washers do not repair damaged axle grooves, worn hubs, incorrect shafts, or a vacuum-hub fault. Dana 50 and Dana 60 applications must still match the original hardware and axle build.
Verify axle type, leaf-spring front suspension, hub design, quantity needed, and washer/ring dimensions. Some model-year catalogs begin at 1999 even when late-1998 production is listed.

Q: Does one kit service both sides? A: Confirm the quantity shown in the listing against the hardware required per wheel end.
