Ford was the only vehicle manufacturer to use Dana Twin Traction Beam® Independent Front Suspension Axles which can be found on 1980-1997 model year Ford 4x4s. The Twin Traction Beam® IFS Axle line includes the coil spring Models 28 and 35 found in Bronco II, Explorers and Ranger pickups, the Model 44 which was used in fill size Broncos, F-150 (coil springs), and light duty F-250 pickups (leaf springs), and the leaf sprung 4500 to 4600 pound rated Model 50IFS axle in heavy GVW F-250 and 1980-1985.5 F-350 trucks. | Link to Our Ford Web Page Index | ||

Hub Size: Ford used both Dana 44 and Dana 50 IFS Twin Traction Beam® Front Axles in F-250 trucks. The easiest way to tell them apart is by measuring the diameter of the wheel hub or locking hub. Dana 44 axles have hubs that are approximately 3-3/8" in diameter. Dana 50 Hubs are about 4-1/8" in diameter. | |||
| Right Differential Output Shaft: The major difference between 1980-1983.5 and 1983.5-1997 Ford Dana 50IFS front axles is the way the right differential output shaft is supported and retained. The early axles use a pressed-on taper roller bearing and an external bolt-on retaining flange. Later production axles use a straight roller bearing pressed into the differential housing and the axle shaft is retained by a snap ring inside the differential next to the differential side gear. The early right diff output shafts could be pulled without removing the differential housing from the axle beam with a special slide hammer puller attachment, but seal replacement also requires the bearing be replaced. For later axles, you MUST remove the differential housing from the axle beam to access the snap ring, but once it is out replacing the right seal is quick and easy. | ||||
| Suspension: Leaf spring | ||||
| Knuckle Mounting: Ball Joints | ||||
| Wheel Hub: 1983-1997 Ford Model 50 axles have an internally splined hub in which a splined lockout hub assembly would fits into. | ||||

We still have brand new left and right Axle Shaft assemblies in stock for 1983-1997 Ford 4x4s with Dana 50 IFS Front Axle. Production on these shafts ended years ago, so when our current limited inventory is exhausted that will be the end of new assemblies. Our available used axle shaft inventory is also limited due to the Cash for Clunkers program and high scrap prices which has sent large numbers of 1983-1997 Fords with Dana 50 axles straight to the crusher. | Link to Our Ford Web Page Index | ||

Ford introduced a redesigned Dana 50IFS Twin Traction Beam Front Axle during the 1983 model year that uses a right Differential Output Shaft retained by a C-Clip inside the axle housing. The new design requires the Differential Housing be removed from the left axle beam to service the Right Axle Shaft Seal and/or center axle universal joint. Also introduced was a right Axle Slip Joint protected by a flexible rubber Boot instead of a pressed on Yoke Seal. The Slip Yoke Boot eliminated one of the chronic problems the previous 1980-early 1983 axle had, namely axle shaft spline failure from water and grit infiltrating past the seal. | Link to Our Ford Web Page Index | ||

The Dana 50 IFS axle has 3 axle universal joints, one for the left side and two for the right side. For the 460 gas engine and later diesel trucks, this size u-joint is a bit on the small size. For the Dana 50, we offer QK4874 Greaseable U-joint as an inexpensive alternative to our QU40470 solid cross original equipment, non-greaseable u-joint which is our as our maximum strength option for these axles. QK4874 Greaseable U-joint is a whole lot cheaper compared to QU40470, but there is some strength loss since it is cross-drilled for grease passage. | Link to Our Ford Web Page Index | ||

Our stock of Ford Dana 50 front brake parts is limited. For the most part, the front brakes generally gave pretty good service that was comparable to the contemporary Dodge and GM 4x4's with one exception. We saw a lot higher percentage of Fords with warped or cracked brake rotors compared to the competition. Whether this was due to the somewhat thinner Ford brake rotor thickness or our Ford customers were harder on their brakes, I can't say, but a F-250 or F-350 that was used to frequently tow a trailer always seemed to need rotors. | Link to Our Ford Web Page Index |

A cut gasket is not used between the differential housing and left axle beam on Dana 50 IFS axles because it's thickness would cause the inner axle shafts to be slightly misaligned with the center of the spindles. High quality RTV sealant is used. The mating faces of the diff housing and axle beam MUST BE Clean! That means NO dirt, fingerprints, old sealant, oil etc. on either mating surface. | Link to Our Ford Web Page Index | ||

We have limited stock on new original equipment Dana 50IFS Hub and Rotors. Ford used both manual and automatic hub locks for Dana 50IFS front axles. For Manual Hubs, we only stock parts for the 6 Bolt, Red or Black Dial (1983-1992) Warn built, factory plastic dial manual hubs. In 1993, Ford switched to a new manual hub style with a smaller grip, black plastic dial, which was superceded by a 3 bolt black plastic dial hub in 1995. We do not stock service parts for the 1993-1997 Ford factory black plastic dial manual hubs. Two versions of automatic hubs were used. We have no replacement parts for the 5 screw 1993-1994 auto hub, but we do have some small parts for the 1995-1997 auto hub with three screws. | Link to Our Ford Web Page Index | ||
