Axle Details
The Dana 50 axle is exclusive to Ford and has been around for over 25 years. It is only found in high pinion front axle applications, however, it is available in solid axle and TTB (twin traction beam) configurations. The striaght axle can most easily be identified by a "229" cast in to the axle webbing but beware, the solid axle Dana 50 looks identical to the stronger and more desired Dana 60 axle and the internal components are not at all interchangeable. While the Dana 50 features Dana 60 sized knuckles, hubs, and axle tubes, it has a smaller carrier, smaller gears, and axle shafts that infamously taper down right at the splines.
