Spicer Front Outer Stub Axle Shaft, Wheel Spindle & 1480 U-Joint Master Kit for 1998-2004 Ford Super Duty (Dana 50 / 60, Single Side)

Completely repair a compromised front wheel end, replace a scored or damaged spindle snout, and restore uncompromised drivetrain strength with this genuine Spicer Outer Stub Axle Shaft, Wheel Spindle & 1480 Series Universal Joint Master Bundle. Specifically engineered as a high-durability, single-side original equipment replacement package for 1998–2004 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty trucks, this total repair bundle contains a rugged outer stub shaft, a precision-finished wheel spindle with factory-installed inner needle bearings, and a premium solid-cross universal joint to fully overhaul either the driver or passenger side outer knuckle assembly.

On the heavy-duty Ford solid-axle 4x4 platform, the front outer stub shaft slides through the center of the fixed wheel spindle to transfer power directly to the wheel hubs. Over high mileage, severe commercial service, or hard off-road use with suspension lifts and massive tires, multiple failure points can occur simultaneously. If the outer axle yoke ears stretch or ovalize, the u-joint bearing caps will shift and snap under torque load. This catastrophic failure frequently causes the broken shaft to thrash inside the knuckle, scoring or gouging the fixed wheel spindle snout. Additionally, if the factory spindle needle bearings seize due to water and grit contamination, they will weld themselves to the outer stub shaft journal, destroying both precision surfaces instantly.

Sourcing this comprehensive original equipment manufacturer (OEM) master bundle eliminates the frustration of ordering individual pieces or discovering mid-repair that your factory spindle is unsalvageable. This package matches a precision-machined, high-tensile steel 30-spline outer stub shaft and a heavy-duty replacement spindle with a genuine Spicer 1480-series solid-cross universal joint. This maintenance-free, non-greaseable u-joint features a cold-forged steel body and advanced multi-lip synthetic rubber seals to keep factory-packed lubrication in while permanently locking out mud, road brine, and trail grit.
