WARNING - Failure to follow these instructions could affect vehicle performance and/or
safety and result in personal injury or death.
• Do not convert or alter Spicer axles except in accordance with vehicle manufacturer's
instructions.
Spicer axles are designed to meet OEM vehicle manufacturer's design and performance
specifications. Improper conversion or alteration of these axles can damage the axles and/or
other vehicle systems. Contact the OEM manufacturer for specific directions and guidelines.
• Do not change axle gear ratios on vehicles with anti-lock braking systems except in
accordance with the vehicle manufacturer's instructions.
Vehicles with anti-lock braking systems may utilize sensors and tone rings within the axle
housings to ensure the functioning of the anti-lock brakes. Improperly changing the axle
ratios may defeat the anti-lock braking system. If changing axle ratios will require changing
the location of the tone ring on the ring gear flange relative to the location of the sensor in
the axle housing, contact the OEM manufacturer for specific directions and guidelines.
• Do not reuse or substitute ring gear bolts.
If you reuse a ring gear bolt or substitute an inferior quality bolt, the bolt may loosen or back
out of its threaded hole, causing severe damage to the axle gears and other components and
possibly resulting in a sudden "locking up" of the axle and loss of control of the vehicle.
Always use new bolts specifically recommended for the application and install bolts using
proper tools and torquing to the proper specifications.
CAUTION - Do not substitute parts not of Spicer quality.
Spicer axles are designed for each model vehicle, and manufactured and tested for safety and best
performance. Replacement parts from other manufacturers may not be made to Spicer's rigid quality
standards. To be sure you're getting Spicer quality, always use genuine Spicer parts.

This catalog contains applications and part listings for front and rear axles which fit Chrysler/Dodge
vehicles from model years 1999-2001. For information on model years between 1967-1978, please refer
to catalog X510-8DSD; Ford model years 1979-1999 refer to X510-9. For miscellaneous models from
years 1979-1984, please refer to X510-7DSD.
The data in this publication is arranged by make, then in numerical order by model for front axles and then
for rear axles. Each model contains the following three sections as appropriate:
• Parts Listing and Exploded View
This section contains an exploded view of the axle and lists all the part numbers for those parts illustrated.
The parts that do not have a common part number have a footnote reference indicating where to find the
correct part number for each Bill of Material.
• Bill of Material Table
This section contains vehicle applications listed in order by year. Included in the table are the major kits
and assemblies for each Bill of Material number.

• Variable Parts Table
This section contains the individual part numbers that vary by Bill of Material number for a given model.

General Information
How To Identify A Spicer Axle
All Spicer Carrier Type axles are identified with a manufacturing date (1) and Bill of Material number (2)
stamped on the right or left hand tube on driving axles. The Bill of Material number may also be found on the
carrier in some models as shown in illustration (2A). For independent front suspension (IFS) axles, the B/M
number may be located at one of three locations: 1). A vertically positioned tag near the center of the right
hand side support arm, 2) stamped into the left hand side support arm (opposite end of the camber adjuster), or 3) stamped into the "nose end" of the axle carrier. The location of the information will depend on
the manufacturing date of the axle.
The axle model number will be cast into one of the webs as shown (3), or it can be on the nose.
Each axle contains a gear ratio tag (4), and if the axle is equipped with a limited slip differential, it will have a
tag specifying the type of limited slip lubricant to be used (5).
Refer to the appropriate model number section for parts identification and a breakdown of the Bill of Material.
How To Change Gear Ratios
To increase or decrease a gear ratio, there are certain steps that must be taken. The differential case depends upon the ratio
desired. For each axle model, there is a high-ratio and a low-ratio case as illustrated below:

Example - If you have a model 44 Rear Axle with a 3.54 ratio and wish to change to a 3.73 ratio, you change only the ring gear
and pinion assembly. If you change the ratio to a 4.09, you must change to a high-ratio case in addition to changing the ring
gear and pinion. The application section will show you what case to use. When the vehicle is equipped with both front and
rear driving axles, the gear ratios must be the same in both axles. The drive gear screws are self-locking and must be
replaced with new screws each time that they are removed.

How Limited Slip Differentials Operate
A conventional differential transmits all the ring gear torque through the differential gears to the axle shafts.
Torque is at all times equal on the axle shafts, and if one wheel slips, the other wheel can only put out as much
torque as the slipping wheel.
The Spicer Limited Slip differential has the same power flow as a conventional differential, plus a more direct flow
which automatically takes effect as driving conditions demand. This more direct power flow is from the differential case to each axle shaft through a clutch plate and disc arrangement.
Arrangement of these plates and discs is at the option of the vehicle manufacturer, so care should be taken
during disassembly to note the arrangement of these components.
The Limited Slip construction permits differential action when required for turning corners and transmits equal
torque to both wheels when driving straight ahead. However, when one wheel tries to spin due to leaving the
ground, a patch of ice, etc., the clutch packs automatically provide more torque to the wheel which is not trying
to spin.
The Limited Slip differential resists wheel spin on bumpy roads and provides more pulling power when one wheel
tries to slip. In many cases of differences in traction, pulling power will be automatically provided until both
wheels start to slip.
In diagnosis of vehicle operators' complaints, it is important to recognize two things.
1. If, with unequal traction, both wheels slip, the Limited Slip Differential has done all it can pssibly do.
2. In extreme cases of differences in traction, the wheel with the least traction may spin after the Limited . Slip
has transferred as much torque as possible to the non-slipping wheel.
How To Distinguish a Powr-Lok™ from a Trac-Lok™
All Models except Model 80 /286: The Powr-Lok
design is identified by its 2-piece case. The Trac-Lok
design is identified by its 1-piece case.
Model 80 /286 only: Both the Powr-Lok and the TracLok use 2-piece cases in the model 80 (286) axle. The
difference between the two is in the shape of the holes
for the cross shaft. The Powr-Lok case will have cross

2-Piece Case
4 Pinion Mate Gears
shaft holes that are "U" shaped in one case half and "V"
shaped in the other case half. The Trac-Lok case will
have cross shaft holes that are semicircles in both case
halves.
It is also possible to replace an existing Powr-Lok unit
with a complete Trac-Lok unit. For this purpose, the
differential case assembly must be replaced.
