Hey guys, I am swapping a Dana 44 from a wagoneer into the front of my pathfinder, and I have a couple of questions about the Dana 44.

1. Are all Dana 44 steering knuckles compatable? I need a pass. side flat top for hi-steer, so can I just pull one off of a chevy from the junk yard? If anyone knows where I can get a drilled and tapped knuckle, I would really like to buy one thats been machined already.

2. I am planning on running between 35-37 inch tires, what parts do I need in order to make the axle stong enough to handle the 37 inch tire. Which U-joints, r&p, etc. do you recomend? I will probably be running 4.88 gears and an ARB locker.

Thanks for the help, sorry such a long post.

www.partsmike.com has your knuckles, or can mill and tap yours

I have warn axles and 37" MTR's, 5.38 Spicer gears and an ARB. Heck I never broke a stock axle either, but got a good deal on the warns. You should be just fine.

Bones, you gotta take it out of the garage and keep it greasy side down in order break axles.:flipoff2: :flipoff2:

That's soooo very true. :flipoff2: Guess I should have said I haven't broken any YET
