Dana 44™ Front Crate Axle®

The Dana brand is the global leader in drivetrain components. Dana axles set the standard for other aftermarket axle manufacturers who call their axles “Dana 44s” – just like most of us call cotton swabs “Q-tips.” But make no mistake: if you’re not buying genuine Dana, you’re not getting the same quality and performance in your parts.

With Dana’s innovative Crate Axle^® program, we’re making it even easier for you to get the exact OE-quality axle you need, right out of the box. Get 100% genuine Dana 44™ product (including housing, gears, bearings, and axle shafts) quickly and easily.

Dana 44™: Better Than the Rest. Better Than Ever.

While it’s not easy to improve upon the best, Dana 44™ axles are now even better! Thicker wall tubing increases axle strength and raises the gross axle weight rating. Combine that with genuine Spicer^® chromoly axle shafts and gearing, plus Spicer SPL^® 1350 u-joints, and you’ll have unparalleled strength and performance on any terrain. See below for additional features and benefits of the new-and-improved Dana 44™.

1. Spicer^® chromoly axle shafts for optimal strength and performance
2. Thicker wall tubing for increased axle strength
3. Genuine Spicer^® gearing
4. Open and selectable electric locking differential options
5. Spicer SPL^® 1350 u-joints with multi-lip seals and full-circle snap rings for ultimate protection and retention
