part number please


Recommended Posts

Try a junkyard. When I tried to buy one at a parts store, they didn't even know what it was (and I had it sitting on their desk). The guy at the junkyard told me to torque the heck out of the axle nut to keep the splines from stripping (as in, much higher torque than the book says), and of course make sure the little conical washer is facing the right way. Don't know if he knew what he was talking about or not, but I've never had another one strip...

Books say 145 ft-lbs torque, last axle I bought, had paper in the box saying 175 ft-lbs torgue. I also always re-torque the axle nut after 100 mile or so of driving.

 

Maybe I'm not holding my tonque right when torquing them the 1st time, as I've always had the hub loosen up after driving awhile.

will any front hubs off an older sub work

 

I think the manuals were different than the autos, turbos, or 2wd's (different # of splines), and I can't remember if the EA81's are the same as the EA82's. But even if its just the 4wd manual EA82's, that's still 9 years of cars to choose from. Anyone else have better recollection on this than I do? I know I've seen it in posts about swapping transmissions, so you might search there.

Part # 723610051

 

Price $226.43 availability unknown

 

This number appears to be pretty standard for all EA-81 vehicles. I have to agree with the others that stated that you have another issue causing your problem. Rounded splines, improper torque, washer placement etc. Good Luck!
