Both sides inners and outers for $150.00 Not bad.

Alright guys got my heim joints thanks for the help now i would like to know what you guys think about putting a truss on it or is it just over kill and this is a littl off subject but can i heat and bend my pitman arm with out breaking or weakning it i moved th axle forward and it looks like it might hit any info would be nice

There's no need to truss your axle unless you plan on jumping the poop out of your Bronco. Even at that, you're more likely to break a knuckle than bend a tube with your springs so close to the wheels.

Don't heat and bend your pitman arm, it'll end up snapping. You can buy drop pitmans for what you're trying to do.

Is the axle a 78/79 or one of the later models?

It is off a 89 f 350 got it for 250 bucks so i could not turn it down but i was looking for a 78-79 model they just wanted my arm for the f!@@!ng thing

I buy all my axle components from Rich at www.Completeoffroad.com (http://www.Completeoffroad.com)

Free shipping helps quite a bit on heavy stuff like this. He sells pitman arms and suspension stuff too.


X2 on no truss.

Later model D60's don't have neck-down inner shafts like the 78-79 did so when you buy replacement outers there's no need to do the inners as well unless you were going to chromolly shafts.

Don't forget that you'll need new hubs if you upgrade the outer shafts to 35 spline.

check ebay have seen them on there before
