Drive Axles, Bearings and Joints: Application and ID

Axle Identification

The axle ratio may be verified by checking the printed label on the axle housing. If worn or not visible, the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) can be typed in the service parts ordering system, or the Vehicle Certification (VC) label may be used to correctly identify the axle and ratio. The VC label is located in the driver door jamb. The first 2 digits of the axle code indicate the gear ratio and type of the rear axle. For information on the VC label, refer to Identification Codes Application and ID.
