6 Testing & Final Assembly

6.2.1

Ford IFS (independent front suspension)

NOTE : This section applies to the front differentials of Ford

IFS equipped vehicles only.

 The Dana 44 differential supplied on Ford independent front

suspension vehicles manufactured since 1983 utilizes a C-clip to

retain one front axle. When an Air Locker is installed, this C-clip

cannot be reused. Therefore a spring is required to be installed at

the outer end of the axle to prevent the axle from floating out of

engagement with the splines.

 Insert an automotive valve spring (or spring of similar strength)

inside the outer yoke - spring loading the slip spline against the

inner end of the stub axle. (Fig.24.)

Figure 24.

NOTE : When assembled, ensure that the spring maintains

sufficient pressure on the axle to hold it firmly

against the cross shaft of the differential while the

vehicle is sitting on level ground.
