| + | ++introduction== | ||
| + | There have been several very good Mopar rear axles used through the years. This page will help ID them | ||
| + | ==ID by shape== | ||
| + | The easiest way to identify an axle is to look at the cover on the carrier housing: | ||
| + | *7-1/4" has a 9 bolt rear cover. | ||
| + | *8-1/4" has 10 bolts, evenly spaced. The cover is almost perfectly round. | ||
| + | *8-3/4" has no rear cover. The back of the axle housing is round. The center section is removable from the front of the housing. | ||
| + | *9-1/4" has a 12 bolt rear cover. Rear cover is roughly octagonal (stop sign-shaped). | ||
| + | *9-3/4" has a 10 bolt rear cover. The cover is wider on the driver side. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==Casting numbers== | ||
| + | These may not be all the casting numbers that were ever used on the various axles, but are a starting point: | ||
