Each piece is forged from chrome vanadium steel, heat-treated and finished with black oxide for improved wear resistance and long service life. The set covers many popular Dana, Ford, GM, Dodge and Toyota applications, making it a versatile workshop companion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich vehicles and axles will this spindle nut socket set work with?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DPTOOL kit fits a wide range of 4WD and light truck front axles, including Dana 44 and Dana 88 styles, and many Ford, GM, Dodge and Toyota models across model years.
