Re: dana60 ball joints

Dana 60 is a kingpin front axle, so no ball joints.... unless you swaped out for late model Ford or Dodge front axle...

I'm in the process of going through my Dana 60. It's alot of pieces to get everything apart. Mine was from the desert and not rusted but since your in PA, it may be more difficult to get bolts loose. Soak everthind in WD-40 or similar a coulple times before trying to pull everything apart. A large impact would be extremely helpful... Alot of time people needed to weld a piece to the kingpin and beat the crap out of it to remove it. I was lucky and mine were in great shape....

Here is a pic of a D60 rebuild kit ...



Below is a link to a rebuild guide....
