Dana 60 Front Outer Axle Stub 35-Spline

The Dana 60 Front Outer Axle Stub 35-Spline from Yukon Gear and Axle is a critical drivetrain component for serious off-road and high-performance vehicle builds. This 12-inch axle shaft is engineered for Dana 60 front axle assemblies and serves as the connection point between the differential carrier and the wheel hub. Whether you're running a lifted truck, building a rock crawler, or restoring a classic 4x4, a reliable outer stub axle is fundamental to safe power delivery and durability under extreme conditions.

The 35-spline design provides robust engagement with the differential carrier, distributing torque evenly across a larger contact surface than smaller spline counts. Forged from high-quality steel and finished in natural (unplated) form, this stub shaft withstands the punishment of heavy acceleration, deep water crossings, and rocky terrain without premature failure. The 4.8 x 2.85-inch diameter construction ensures proper fit and tolerance within Dana 60 housings, while the 14.75-inch overall length accommodates standard hub and brake assembly spacing. At 8.34 pounds, the component maintains structural integrity without unnecessary weight penalty—a critical consideration for suspension systems operating near capacity limits.

This axle stub is ideal for mechanics and enthusiasts rebuilding Dana 60 front differentials or replacing damaged shafts in vehicles experiencing hard use. Common applications include full-size pickup trucks (Ford F-250/350, Dodge Ram 2500/3500 with Dana 60 front), Jeep Wranglers and Cherokees equipped with Dana 60 conversions, and vintage Broncos running upgraded axle assemblies. Installation requires proper spline alignment and torque specifications per your vehicle's service manual; always pair with matching inner axle shafts and quality wheel bearings for complete system reliability. Stock this replacement shaft for your next Dana 60 overhaul or keep it on hand for critical field repairs.
