Dana 44 axle specs

[Meltek]

Dana 44 axle specs. Rebuilding an 06 TJ Rubi. rear axle housing was bent by previous owner. I had the housing straightened and I now need the tolerance for the axle shafts. The "wobble" on the drivers side (major impact site) is .045 and the passenger side is .015. I measured a new shaft and it is .005. I am assuming that the drivers side will require replacement, but not sure about the passenger side. Can anyone pass along some info on this? Sure would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

With his experience in building TJs; you should contact MrBlaine with your questions.

.005 is more than I'd want, .001 is desirable.

Thanks Jerry. I did not realize that the tolerances were that close. Looks like I will be replacing both shafts. Thanks again and stay safe during the crisis
