REAR AXLE IDENTIFICATION
The rear axle identification code consists of a
two letter prefix indicating the gear ratio, four digits indicating the
assembly date as month/day, and a single letter suffix indicating the manufacturing
location. The identification code should be stamped on the bottom
or front left or right axle tube either adjacent to the carrier housing
or about 8" - 10" inboard from the backing plates.
