To better serve or customers and the market place, Dana Corporation’s Heavy Vehicle
Technologies and Systems Service (HVTSS) division is pleased to announce the following
changes to select axle end fitting part numbers and the process for ordering these numbers.
Effective immediately, we have changed the part numbers of select axle end fittings to better
align with the numbering scheme with all other Spicer® end fittings. Attached is a cross
reference chart from the old part numbers, formally used by our Henderson, Kentucky axle
facility, to the new numbers. The “Henderson type” part numbers will no longer be recognized
by our system. Please make these part number changes in your system and begin ordering
using the new numbers immediately.
Certain Henderson numbers were identified as obsolete and have been superceded to a “half
round” configuration end fitting. To incorporate this new configuration it is necessary to replace
the universal joint kit on the mating end of the driveshaft and will also require the appropriate
strap and bolt kit identified in the last column of the cross reference chart. This change will
allow the driveshaft to properly mate with the new end fitting.
Additionally, oil seals were often include with end fitting that were shipped from the Henderson
facility, but will no longer be included. Oil seals are now required to be ordered separately
using their respective original OEM part numbers.
Finally, these part numbers must be ordered through our Holland, OH Customer Service
department. The Henderson, Kentucky Customer Service department has been consolidated
into the Holland, Ohio group.
Information regarding these changes was also communicated via Service Bulletin JOI-PNI-198.
