Working on rebuilding a 1973 wagoneer rear D44 axle and thinking of going to a locker (ARB air, Eaton eLocker, or a OX) while I have it apart....
Question is do you use the same side carrier bearings with the locker you would with the stock carrier?
The reason I ask is looking at the timken bearing kits for D44 there are a LOT of them each with a different set of side and pinion bearings.
For example my axle needs DRK339BMK which comes with
DIFFERENTIAL SIDE BEARING:25590 25523
The DRK339AMK uses
DIFFERENTIAL SIDE BEARING:LM603049 LM603012
Need to pick up some axle bearings and seals so wanted to order my diff kit as well to save some on shipping.
Thanks,
Wire
