Dana 44 77-79 f250 brake part # ? - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

I am new to this forum and have had no luck on others. I've been going through a 78 or 79 dana 44 ford f 250 8 lug frontend from hub to hub. Well I've mixed up which side this was for Part # 357d uf 8 0589-1 it is the outer part of caliper that holds 1 brake pad that has to be reused since they do not sell it.

Are you sure it makes a difference, between left and right? I am thinking if there is a difference it would only go together one way and if not it does not matter.

There is a difference the way the brake pad will set in from the top to the bottom, one has a angle and the other is a slotted groove for the pad to sit in. Other than that they are almost exactly the same.

I think I have some spare calipers I can check and see if I can tell you which is which.

The part # you referenced is the passenger side.
