Ford Excursion Axles
The Ford Excursion is equipped with specific axles that vary based on the model year and whether it is a 4×4 or 2WD model. Here’s a breakdown of the axles used in the Ford Excursion:
Front Axle:
– The front axle of the Ford Excursion is a Dana 50 axle, which consists of a Dana 44 differential in a Dana 60 housing with 30 spline axles.
– The Dana 50 front axle was used in the 4×4 models of the Excursion.
– The Excursion’s front axle is unique and requires specific service procedures and tools for maintenance.
