Ford F150 - spider gears

One of the spider gears in my differential broke the other day. Is there any websites where I can buy just the spider gears and not all the differential gears?

If one broke, the other got overstressed, and there's probably more damage that hasn't surfaced yet.

If you just want to patch it, I have some used spider gears, but they're worn. I don't recommend it, though.

You should look at either a rebuild (by a pro), or find a good used axle.

Click my signature link & look in the 8.8" Axle album.

Thank you. Sadly enough I think me and one of my buddies are going to replace the pinion gears and spiders gears. I figure I will be using the pictures in your signature to help me. Thanks again.

if it was me i would forget about replacing any of the spider or side gears and use a powertrax or lockrite instead. you won't need any spiders then.

detroit makes an ez-locker too that replaces the spider gears but i've heard some bad things about them and they're expensive.

This thread has plenty of info on the various types of differentials.
