Overview
The kit is a front wheel bearing kit for the Dana 35 IFS front axle. It fits the Ford Ranger, Ford Explorer, Ford Bronco II and Dodge Dakota, with years and trims covered in the vehicle details below.
Each kit holds a Timken inner bearing and race, a Timken outer bearing and race and a wheel bearing seal, all for one side.
The title reads 90-97 Ford Dana 35, while the kit’s years also appear as 90-95 Dana 35 IFS. Match your exact year against the vehicle details below before ordering.
The Dana 35 IFS front axle is found under several compact Ford trucks and SUVs, and this kit also appears on a Dodge Dakota entry. Because different Dana designs sit under similar trucks, identifying the actual axle matters more than the model name. G2 Axle and Gear does not publish bearing dimensions or Timken numbers for the 30-8024. The mixed years in the title and notes are a reason to rely on the list.

Identifying your front axle
Several Dana designs were used under compact Ford trucks, and some look similar at a glance. Identifying the actual axle matters more than the model name. Look for an axle code or stamped tag on the housing, and compare the knuckle design with a reference photo before ordering.
Once the axle is confirmed, plan the job around the hub and knuckle. The bearings sit inside a small hub, so check the seal and the bearing surfaces when the hub is open. Pack the bearings with fresh grease and install the seal square, since a misaligned seal will leak quickly.
- Read the axle code on the housing
- Compare the knuckle with a reference photo
- Inspect the seal and bearing surfaces when open

Installation notes
One kit serves one side, so a pair of wheel ends takes two kits. Check which front axle your truck has, since several Dana designs were used.
