Ford Front Axle (Dana 30) Exploded Parts Diagram - Hub, Spindle & Differential
Exploded parts diagram of a front axle and differential assembly with labeled hubs, bearings, gears and housing components.
This document is an exploded parts diagram of a Ford front drive axle assembly (uploaded as a Dana 30 diagram for a 1994 Ford Bronco). The illustration, credited 'Copyright FoMoCo,' shows every major component of the axle in exploded view with labeled callouts. Components identified include the wheel hub, inner and outer wheel bearings, spindle, spindle arm, spindle bearings and bearing cap, axle shafts with caged roller bearing, seals, snap rings, grease cap, lock nut, nut lock, spacer, driving hub, and wheel bearing adjusting nut on the outer end. The center section shows the differential case, side gears, differential pinion gears, thrust washers, pinion shaft and pinion shaft pin, spider, pinion and ring gear, pinion inner and outer bearings, pinion bearing preload shim, pinion locating shim, differential backlash and preload adjusting shims, differential bearings and bearing caps, lubrication slinger, cover, gasket, and filler/drain plugs. Steering-related items such as the spindle connecting rod, rod end, and clamp are also labeled, along with the axle housing plug, vent, slinger, and flange and deflector. A reader can learn the names, relative positions, and assembly order of all parts in this front axle, useful for teardown, rebuild, or parts identification. No part numbers, torque values, or year/model applicability are stated.
