The Crane Axle Dana 60 Front End Kit for GM 6-Bolt Knuckles includes the major components needed to complete both outer ends of a Dana 60 front axle using GM or Chevrolet six-bolt spindle-mount knuckles. Assembled by Crane Axle, this package combines the spindles, hubs, brake components, bearings, seals, and installation hardware needed to finish a new axle build or rebuild a worn outer assembly.

Using a matched front-end package eliminates the need to source individual components from multiple suppliers and helps simplify spindle, hub, bearing, and brake assembly. This kit is built for custom Dana 60 axles, heavy trail rigs, rock crawlers, and other off-road applications that require a complete and serviceable GM-pattern outer assembly.

Includes:

  • (2) Spindles with Nuts and Washers
  • (2) Brake Brackets
  • (2) Wheel Hubs
  • (2) Brake Rotors
  • (2) Brake Calipers
  • (1) Set of Brake Pads

Fitment Notes

  • Fits GM and Chevrolet Dana 60 knuckles with a six-bolt spindle mounting pattern.
  • Verify the knuckle mounting pattern before ordering because Dana 60 knuckles were produced in multiple configurations.
  • Axle shafts, locking hubs or drive flanges, steering arms, and knuckles are not listed as included.
  • Confirm wheel bolt pattern, wheel clearance, brake hose requirements, and outer axle shaft compatibility during assembly.
  • Proper wheel bearing preload and brake system bleeding are required during installation.

FAQ

1. What does this Dana 60 front end kit complete?

The kit supplies the spindle, hub, rotor, caliper, brake bracket, pad, bearing, seal, and wheel-stud components needed to assemble both outer ends of a compatible Dana 60 front axle.

2. What does the GM 6-bolt knuckle pattern refer to?

It refers to the six fasteners used to secure the spindle and brake bracket assembly to the steering knuckle. The knuckle must use the correct GM or Chevrolet six-bolt mounting pattern for the components to fit.

3. Is this kit useful for a new custom Dana 60 build?

Yes. It allows a builder to complete both axle ends with a coordinated group of components instead of sourcing the spindles, hubs, brakes, bearings, and hardware individually.

4. Why is wheel bearing preload important?

Correct preload keeps the hub properly supported without excessive looseness or bearing drag. Incorrect adjustment can cause wheel movement, seal failure, brake rotor misalignment, overheating, or premature bearing wear.

5. What parts may still be needed to finish the axle?

Depending on the build, additional components may include steering knuckles, inner and outer axle shafts, U-joints, locking hubs or drive flanges, steering arms, brake hoses, and steering linkage.
