Overview
The G2 Dana 44 Chromalloy inner axle shaft, part 97-2033-006, is a passenger side front inner shaft with 30 splines and a 33.91 inch overall length. It is designed for the 1978–1979 Ford Bronco.
The shaft is forged from high-grade alloy steel and heat treated to exceed OEM specifications, a forging designed for durability. It also fits 1968–1969 Ford F-150 trucks, so confirm fit for your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering. It is machined for full circle clips and accepts a 5-760X U-joint.

Passenger side installation tips
The passenger side inner is a separate part from the driver side, so confirm the side on the old shaft before ordering. Installing the new shaft on the wrong side wastes time, and the axle will not line up. Mark the old shaft’s orientation if the joint or clip groove is not symmetrical.
Full circle clips hold the shaft in the carrier, so the clip grooves need to be clean and free of burrs before reassembly. Replace the axle seal while the shaft is out, and check the bearing surface for scoring. Fresh lubricant in the carrier keeps the spline surfaces protected.
A longer shaft is more likely to flex during articulation, so check the joint angle once the axle is back together. Look for binding or vibration on the first drive, and recheck the clips and joint bolts after the first few trail runs.
