Yukon Gear 4340 Chrome-Moly Inner Replacement Axle For Dana 44 / J-Truck and 74-79 Cherokee Chief

If you're working on the front axle of your 1974-1979 Jeep J10 or Cherokee Chief, this Yukon Gear & Axle inner axle shaft is a solid replacement. It's specifically made for the Dana 44 differential found in these trucks and is designed for the left-hand side. This shaft is built with high-tensile strength 4340 chromoly steel, which is a strong material chosen for its ability to withstand tough conditions.

Yukon uses advanced production methods, including cold-roll formed splines, which help improve their durability compared to cut splines. They also feature induction coil heat treating, a process that hardens the surface while keeping the core tough. This combination of materials and manufacturing techniques results in a well-built axle shaft that's ready for regular use. It measures 16.5 inches long and has 30 splines to match the differential and U-joint setup.

This axle shaft is designed to work with the 5-760X series U-joint, so make sure you have the correct joint on hand if you're replacing that as well. It's a direct replacement for the original inner axle on the left side of your front Dana 44 axle.
