Drive Axles, Bearings and Joints: Application and ID

AXLE IDENTIFICATION TAG
The plant code on the axle identification tag is the official service identifier.
^ The plant code for a particular rear axle housing assembly will not be duplicated.
^ The plant code will not change as long as that particular axle assembly never undergoes an external design change.
^ If, however, an internal design change takes place in the same axle during the production life of the axle and that internal change affects interchangeability of service parts, a dash and numerical suffix will be added to the plant code.





VEHICLE CERTIFICATION LABEL
The vehicle certification label is affixed on the LH front door lock panel or door pillar. The vehicle certification label contains the axle ID code in the lower RH corner.
