Front Differential

[Hikes]

Can someone please verify the front differential on my 06? Axle code is 45, 8.8, 3.55. Dana super 30?...want to be sure before ordering a bearing kit. Thanks

Found this on another Ford site...

In 1995, the Ford Explorer 4x4 went from a TTB (Twin Traction Beam) Dana 35 front axle, to a Dana 35 SLA (Sort arm Long Arm) front axle. In 2002, the Ford Explorer switched from a Dana 35 to a Dana 'Super' 30. The Super 30 should not be confused with the 'Super 30' axle upgrade kit intended for the regular Dana 30 axles. The 'Super 30 kit' upgrades a Dana 30 27-spline shaft to a 30-spline shaft.
The 1995-2001 Ford Explorer Dana 35 SLA, and the 2002-2010 Ford Explorer Dana 'Super' 30 both use 27-spline shafts, but use different carriers. The earlier 1995-2001 Dana 35 uses (8) ring gear bolts, and the 2002-2010 Dana 'Super' 30 uses (10) ring gear bolts​

Finally getting back to it...had to shelf the project for a bit. I thought I would throw an alignment at it before committing to the rebuild. Assuming I can back the half axles out enough to pull them out of the dif and not remove any steering components...would I need to realign after pulling and reinstalling the dif if that's what it ends up being?
