hey guys, the other day i was putting my front driveshaft in and i was on the last strap bolt and i snapped it.. so i instantly got a headache and figd id jus tap/drill it out. but then i had a thought and i had put 2 "new" axles from the jy into her bc i wanted 4wd, but i still have my stock 2wd axle sittin outside, would the 2 yokes be the same so i could jus take off the one with the snapped bolt in it and swap it for the one thts outside? or would tht be an easier process said than done? thanks!

 

What? front drive shaft 4wd yoke 2wd yoke ????

 

you're asking if the front yoke on a Dana30 is the same as a rear axle (Dana 35 or 8.25)? That's a good question, I'd like to know, I'll check it out in the near future. I have to do some axle swapping and yoke replacing. One quick way to check is look at the outer diameter of the yokes (sealing surface), that could rule it out. It is as simple as pulling the big (1-1/8" I think) nut and putting the new yoke on. You're supposed to measure the pinion bearing preload before swapping, but I know a lot of people just swap 'em out. I'd be more **** about a rear yoke on a DD.

 

yes thts what im askin lol. i have the 8.25 now. but i figd instead of buyin a new one its worth checkin out right? lol. but ima take it off today and ill post n let uk the results! whats a DD ? prob gonna kno once u spell it out, the abbreviation is throwin me off lol

 

oops...Daily Driver

 

oh lol ok. yeah its my daily driver but its on the front one. ive been procrastinating a lil bit this week and havent gotten to look at it but i
WILL today lol

 

tried to take nut off. is deff 1 1/8 but isnt budging. im thinkin heatin up a lil bit with a mini torch wont hurt it?

 

D30 and 8.25 yokes are not the same.

 

i have to see what my front axle is. ik i have an 8.25 rear but havent rele looked to see what the front one is.. bt if its 8.25 then ik the yoke wont be the same now :]

 

would the yokes from a dana 30 and a dana 35 be the same?

 

99 % sure they are different also, but I can double check tomorrow night for you.
