6 lug, SUA, open knuckle, disc, LOOKS to have a panhard bar, steering stabilizer, stabilizer bar, 2.5" wide leaf, leafs are approx 42" bolt to bolt(not measuring arch), drivers drop, approx. 63" WMS to WMS. Any help appreciated.

Pics dont work but that sounds like a late model Waggy front end. I had a 86 waggy front end that matched those specs almost exactly

try Here (briefcase.yahoo.com/the_law_300) and click on Z-71 then Show All....

Looks like a Waggy front end.

When did Waggys come with Drivers Drop. My 75 Waggy axle is passenger drop.

Dallas

Waggys came with driver drops in the mid to late 80's

Okay, I have never had the chance to completely disassemble a D44 auto hub before so could someone give me a link or instruction on how to tear this axle down so I can beef it up?

Yep, looks like a waggy diff, but I've never seen one with that mount for a trac bar??? Are those spring center bolts drlled on center? All the waggy springs that I have seen are 2" off center.

No, the U bolts were not drilled into the pumpkin.

I'm not talking about the U bolts....The spring center bolts!!! That's the bolt that holds the springs leaves together. What I mean about centered is...distance from spring eye to center bolt equal from frt. to back?:smokin:

Get the BoMN off it and try my site.

It is going to be off a Wagoneer. If you look closely you can see the front leaf springs are a bit off set. Most of the wagoneers around here are 80's model and have a trac bar bracket welded to the housing. The sway bar links to the u-bolt spring plate too I bet.
To pull the hub apart you will need to take a flathead screwdriver and pry off the chrome cap. Pull out the spring inside along with the automatic hub assembly. Take a 4 slot spindle nut socket to remove the nut, lock washer and the 2nd nut. The hub should then slide off (if you pull the brakes).

You may also encounter a c-clip on the spindle the easiest way to get it off is to get 2 screwdrivers one on each end of the clip...have a buddy hold one and then take a hammer or a mallet and hit the other drive and the clip should pop right off...

It surely looks like a waggy front end mine looked identicle to that...I had to grind the trac bar mount off(cause I didn't need it)...goodluck...its a good axle to start with:D

Thanks for your responses. They are greatly appreciated.

1980 on were driver side drop... :flipoff2:

who cares what it is it doesnt belong under a fullsize pickup! Oh wait we already had that discusion and every one already agreed it was a full size jeep axle...

Seriously though why not sell that thing to a YJ owner and get a pickup axle for your truck?
