Just ordered a master rebuild kit for my rear dana 44 and the diff bearings are too small. When I hold them up to the old bearings there smaller. Ordered it from 4wd.com and the number on the package is 16525.30. anyone run into this same problem before or know what the correct part # is that I need? This is what I ordered. Dana 44 Master Installation Kit By Alloy USA - Part # ALY352062 Drivetrain Axle: Rear Axle

What carrier are you running? I know some spools use different carrier bearings but sounds like they sent you the wrong ones.

spdyracer

as far as i know its the stock carrier it has 3.55 gears in it right now.

looking again they have 2 kits did i get the wrong one? this is the one i got

Thinking you may have. I curious why both come with a crush sleeve. My front 44 uses shims for preload and all the other 44s I've dealt with have as well.

spdyracer

yeah it came with a crush sleeve but when i pulled the old gears out it has shims. are both of these kits totally wrong?

SeriousOffroad

IIRC, you should use 706032 bearings.

spdyracer

looks like i'm going to need to send this one back do you have the correct rebuild kit? also need to order your steering setup up also would be great to get both at the same time

SeriousOffroad

The kit P/N you listed is for a WJ D44.

SeriousOffroad

This is a standard D44 kit:

my dana is out of an xj. so would this be the rebuild kit i need for it? if so i'll be getting it from you and a steering kit.

SeriousOffroad

Yep, that's the one you want.
