My friend needs a driver side front axle shaft for his 1998 dodge ram 4x4 360. it is 5 lug. im pretty sure it is a dana 44. we went to the junk yard and found nothing but an older wagoneer. it was 6 lug but i did some research and it said it is also a dana 44. does any know if the axle shaft out of the wagoneer will fit into his front axle?
Have a friend stand and listen to your car as you drive by him. do circles if need be
Ask a friend that trusts you to fasten himself to your undercarriage with strong rope and a stethoscope while you drive figure eights.
No it won't. The axle on yours is only interchangeable with a 1994 to 2001 ram1500 or 1994 to 1997 ram 2500. It is quite rare that the axle itself must be changed. If you can remove the axle, bring it to an auto machine shop and they can change the U joint, which is commonly the problem.
A new axle kit is so freakin' cheap, why are you guys wasting your time with junk axles and mismatched vehicles?
