Help. Front drive axle issues.
So pulled them off pressed out u-joints with penetrating oil and deployed the torch… good news got them apart. Bad news bent the ears in the process. I can get pass side together but only 2 clips will go in. Other side tried to put u-joint in the “good” inner shaft only to find it is bent too just enough you can’t get ujoint into the pocket with the caps off.
Anyone have a good set of stock drive axles or know wheee I can get a set?
It is the Dana44 10-bolt

That makes perfect sense now that I look at it againI was just explaining the 31.95
.Nice guy on the phone. Had me counting splines and confirming measurements to assure proper fitment. He was surprised a 78 had the Dana44 he said they stopped that and went to the GM 10 bolt. Anyway good price and free shipping. Thanks to you all for the help. Local counter help leaves much to be desired at the retail parts level.![]()

The ends bolt to the sides of the spring plates (that the U-bolts pass through), like this:Can anyone send me some pics of the way the sway bar gets bolted in to springs and cross member. Please.
Nothing in that pile would be good on seals that ride on the shaft...if you were closer I probably got some in this pile
Thanks. That helps a lot. So I wasn’t crazy and it seems to need some muscle to get it to reach those brackets. Wait I had both brackets bolting from the outside, driverside bolts to inside of springs not outside. Huge difference. If I am reading the pick correctly.The ends bolt to the sides of the spring plates (that the U-bolts pass through), like this:

There are 4 holes in the cross member under the radiator that the bushings mount on. They are on the straight part of the swaybar, just inside the 2 large bends. This picture is the ORD bar, but the bushing mount is like stock.

Don’t know about that. Even torching and dosing with penetrating oil would not budge. Machines said sometime they friction weld in there and can’t do by hand. IDHK but his machine went to 31000lbs plus with red hot steel before broke free. Then it popped like a gunshot and moved 1/8”Lesson to be learned is DO NOT use a press for u-joint changes or a vise .
Learn how to do them with a vise to hold and a 4lb hammer .
If it's lifted, the stock sway bar doesn't usually fit right, but a set of disconnects solves the geometry problem.am i the only one here thinking ....... what is a sway bar on a c/k truck thats lifted ?
