Dana 44 front ring & pinion ?

Post by eggman918 »

Today I received my new ring&pinion for my low pinion 44 and the gear angle is reversed from the old one,did I screw up and order the wrong one??
the old one is the same as the rear yet the new one was labeled for a 44 front,what have I done wrong/ Should I have ordered a standard rotation set?
If pics will help clarify I will take one.

The cut should be the same as the old one. The new gears should be labeled high pinion or low pinion (low pinion being correct for your app.)
