How To Identify An Early Bronco Dana 30 & Dana 44

The quickest way to tell which axle your Bronco has is to look at the top of the steering knuckles where the Front End Housing is connected to the Knuckle. On a Dana 44, you will see a large castle nut threaded onto a ball joint. On a Dana 30, you will see a king pin cap with four bolts threaded down into the top of the knuckle.
