ISSUE: The 1991 and prior model front drive axles had identification information in the following three (3) places...

^ It was on a metal tag attached to a carrier cover mounting bolt.

^ It was stamped into the left side axle arm (tube) front face inboard of the U-Joint.

^ It was on a paper tape tag wrapped around the axle arm (tube).





The 1992 model year axles use a glue-on label that replaces all three of the prior identification markings, Figure 1. The new label is on the rear face of the right hand arm (tube).

ACTION: Since this glue-on label, Figure 1, is the only identification, be sure that the information on the label is recorded in a retrievable place before any service actions are taken which will damage/destroy or remove the label.
