Description

Overview

The kit is a light-duty front wheel bearing kit for the Dana 44 LD front axle. It is made for 1980-1995 Ford TTB trucks and holds all parts for one side of the axle.

The 1980-1995 TTB years differ from the vehicles below, so confirm the model year before ordering.

Key features

  • Light-duty Dana 44 front axle application
  • All parts for one side
  • Timken inner and outer wheel bearings with races
  • Wheel bearing seal included

Light-duty axle basics

The light-duty Dana 44 uses lighter hubs and spindles than the full-size version, so the bearing sizes and seals are not interchangeable. Trucks that carry a light-duty front axle often see less load, but the bearings still wear with time, water and dirt. When the hub is apart, clean the spindle and check it for scoring before the new bearings go on.

Timken inner and outer bearings with a wheel bearing seal form the core of the job. Press the races squarely into the hub and pack the bearings with fresh grease. A new seal installed square keeps grease in and water out, which is what protects the new bearings over the long run.

  • Match the axle designation on the housing
  • Clean the spindle before fitting bearings
  • Install the seal square and fully seated

Questions & Answers

Is the 30-8026 for the front or the rear axle?

It is for the front Dana 44 LD axle, and the kit includes one side only. The title and description both describe a front application, so it is not a rear bearing kit.

Which Ford trucks does the 30-8026 fit?

The kit fits the 1971-1977 Ford Bronco and the 1977 Ford F-150. The title also gives 1980-1995 TTB, so confirm the model year before ordering.

Does the 30-8026 include both bearings?

Yes. It includes a Timken inner wheel bearing and race, a Timken outer wheel bearing and race, and a wheel bearing seal for one side.

Is the Dana 44 LD the same as a standard Dana 44?

No. The light-duty version has different hub and spindle sizing from the full-size Dana 44, so parts are not always interchangeable. Match the axle designation on the housing before ordering.

What signs show the front wheel bearing needs replacing?

Play at the wheel, a hum that changes with speed or turns, and rough or discolored grease all point to bearing wear. Replace the bearings and seal on that side as a set.
