Help Identify this Axle Shaft

**Tbars4** · 12-26-2009, 04:43 PM

...I was given this as a spare 8.8 shaft and recently notice it did not have a groove for a c-clip..

..Since it has 5 bolts and a hole for a brake sensor, I assumed it was a later model X shaft..

...I have not measured (other than it is about 31" long), checked the bolt pattern, nor have I done a spline count...

...It's up to you to identify this shaft...

Think that's an Axle Shaft from a 9inch Ford Axle

That's not a later explorer axle I can tell you that much.

Here a couple of Pics to compare with. these are from a Currie 9in

the Axle Shaft

Note the Bearing set up

on stock 8.8's the bearing would stay in the housing not on the axle shaft.

...I am curious where you came up with that picture from???

...I just don't know what I'm going to do with a currie 9" and a spare shaft...I guess I'll figure something out...

could be a super 88 axle shaft. Need more infor...spline and shaft size. 31" and 7/8 is what a Ex should be. Does look like a 9" though
