404 Measurements???? - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

The Rockslut · 11-27-2002, 05:49 PM

Anybody have some stock 404 axles laying around that they can pull some tape on real quick?

1. I need to know how wide the 404 axle is between the flanges where the portal outer bolts on.
The only measurements that I can find are: Distance between upper ball joints is approximately 50.5 inches. Distance between lower ball joints is approximately 54 inches.
I want to try and run leaf springs on 404 axles and need to know how wide the springs can be.

2. I see everywhere that the pinion is around 19". Is the the pinion length itself or is from the center of the housing to the end of the flange????

Thanks in advance

For #2, 19" should be from the center of the housing to the end of the pinion flange.

I'll measure #1 tomorrow.

Here are some measurments:
The axle housing is 44" where the outer parts are bolted on.
The width where the portals are bolted to the outer parts is 58".

hope this will help you

Thanks for picking up my slack Wolfgang. My short-term memory has been completely non-existent lately.
