F150 Outer Bearing Hubs and CV's

[standfast]

I just wanted to get this clear. The 97-03 F150 4x4 front bearing hubs and outer CV's will recieve a standard 930 axle right? From whiplash's thread it looks like it is a plunging CV and he measured approximately 2.5" of plunge.

Does the 930 axle C-clip retain the axle correctly in the Ford CV?

Also the splines from the 930 will slide inside the CV like a 930 will?

I am curious how much it is cabable of sliding on the splines or is that included in that 2.5" measurement?

What is the bolt pattern for the bearing hubs? It looks like there is 3 bolts.

What is the opening size in the plate to clear the bearing?

Also confirming that the Ford bolt pattern is 5 on 135.

I am assuming with this setup you would use a 930 CV on the inner?

I have a part# for the bearing - Timken 515017 ? Price is $150 ea. where I found them.

Rockauto.com has the complete axle/halfshaft for $52each where I found them. I guess you have to buy the whole halfshaft just to get the outer CV?

If anyone can confirm this info I would appreciate it.

Livewire can get the cv joints only for you, i am pretty certain, pm him....

That wasn't a major concern as they are only $52 for the whole thing.

I buy all Timken bearings from my local major bearing supplier, I gave him the part number and he said that doesn't come up under Timken.

Guess you need to find a new bearing supplier then...

Those are probably remans at that price I would think but I don't know for sure.

I know a guy who bought some reman axles, i wont say who, but they were so terribly put together it wasnt even funny, Im guessing "livewire" can get that cv joint brand new greased with a boot kit for around that same price...
