Thanks for all the help. My passenger upper is out because the dust seal is gone. So I figured I'd do them all at the same time so the front end would be good for a while. The truck still drives great, but definitely don't want to drop the money on new tires only to have one start a weird wear pattern because of a worn ball joint... If you run across the part numbers anywhere in the next month or two, would please send them to me? I'm up in Canada working, so I won't be back to work on the truck until the end of March. Thanks again for the help!

Sounds good, looks like both axle seals for each side, 4 ball joints, and a couple tools from my best friend. Do you remember replacing the seal that is in the axle housing? I have heard that one can be a bear to get removed and a new one in? Not sure if it's the same for the super 60. No worries if you can't remember, it can't be terribly hard to figure out as I go lol. Do you know what brand ball joints you used and whether you have had good luck out of them?

Thanks again for all the help!

Hi,

I have an 08 F450 that I bought this past fall, and one of the issues that needs attention in the near future (before it gets a new set of tires) is at least the passenger side ball joints replaced. The upper lost the dust seal and has some play in it now. I saw where it looked like you did the ball joints on your truck. All the info I can find just describes doing ball joints on regular Dana 60s. Would you happen to have a list of parts that need replacing and any noted differences between this axle and a regular 60 when it comes to doing ball joints? For the regular 60, they say replace the hub o-rings, and inner and outer axle seals, but is this necessary if care is taken when disassembling? Any insight is appreciated! Thanks
