I had my Bronco in for some brake work. I usually do that stuff myself, but it was extensive and I have had severely limited time to get things done. In a way, it was nice before they found that one of the axle seals started to leak while they were doing a test drive on the brakes.
So, I wanted to order replacements for both axles, just do them both at the same time and get it over with. However, I found that there are two different axle types for the 8.8" rear end for the model year, and you have to check the tag to know which is which. Seeing as there's a 2" difference in length between them, doesn't seem like something I can just buy either way and have it work out fine. The problem I'm having is reading the tag, since it's not in very good shape.
Can someone take a look at the attached photo and see if they can help me make sense of what the tag says?
