Description

Overview

The G2 Axle and Gear 30-8016 is a front wheel bearing kit for one side of a Dana 44 axle. It is for Ford Dana 44 and 1986-1993 Dodge Dana 44 applications, and it has all the parts for that side.

Timken inner and outer bearings with races, plus a wheel bearing seal, come together for one side of the Dana 44 front axle. Ford and Dodge Dana 44 applications are covered.

Key features

  • All parts for one side of the front axle
  • Timken inner wheel bearing and race
  • Timken outer wheel bearing and race
  • Wheel bearing seal included

Before you start

Pressing races into the hub takes a driver or press, and the hub bore must be clean and free of burrs before the new race goes in. Inspect the spindle for scoring, since a rough surface will wear a new bearing quickly. Dana 44 front hubs are heavy, so support the hub properly during the press work to avoid bending the race.

The seal sits at the back of the hub and is removed during bearing service. A new seal that is seated square prevents grease from leaking onto the brake parts. Pack the bearings with fresh grease, and keep the hub clean once it is reassembled.

  • Clean the spindle before fitting new bearings
  • Pack the hub with fresh grease
  • Check the hub seal for hardening

Questions & Answers

Is the 30-8016 kit for both sides of the front axle?

No. The kit has all the parts for one side, so a front axle needs a second kit for the other side.

Does the 30-8016 fit a 1976 Ford F-250?

Yes. The kit fits the 1976-1978 Ford F-250, which is one of the Ford models covered. Check the year, model and trim against your truck before ordering.

Which bearings are in the 30-8016 kit?

The kit includes a Timken inner wheel bearing and race, a Timken outer wheel bearing and race, and a wheel bearing seal for one side.

Do I need to replace both sides at once?

It is not required, but many owners do it. Bearings and seals wear at similar rates on both wheel ends, and doing one side at a time leaves the other side aging. Keep track of which kit went on which side.

Can the Dana 44 hub be reused with new bearings?

Usually yes, provided the hub bore and spindle are in good shape. Look for scoring, pitting or heat marks on the race seats. Replace the hub if the bore is damaged, because a loose race will spin in use.
