Axle Flange Face Runout - Semi-Floating Axle

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Ford RV Cutaway, 2004 Ford Econoline, 2004 Ford E450 Super Duty, and 2004 Ford Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Position the Dial Indicator Gauge with Holding Fixture on the axle flange face, as close to the outer edge as possible. Zero the indicator to allow the pointer to deflect either way.

  2. Rotate the flange one full turn and note the maximum and minimum readings. The difference between the maximum and minimum readings will be the total face runout. The runout must not exceed 0.13 mm (0.005 in).
  3. Full float axles in E350 and E450 models have hubs, which have the same 0.13 mm (0.005 in) limit on the flange lateral runout.
