Help - Need help identifying a part number for this compression washer?

I was able to get the right bearing and seal at NAPA for my Dana 60 frontend but they couldn't find a part number for the compression washer.

Here's what I'm working on, front axles for a Dana 60

Here's the bearing and seal kit I bought at NAPA

Here's the part I need a part number for...

That looks like a flat washer/spacer. You can't reuse it Mike?

I could but I've been replacing everything with new parts just to do the job right the first time.

I shows signs of wear I can take a better picture later...

Trying to get both the frontend and rearend all re-assembled this weekend.

     Mike, I just went through this, Dan the man at my local Oreilly's hooked me up.  It is called a pre-load washer for the spindle bearing kit, I had to contact my local gm parts guy at a dealership and have him look ( they really don't like to have to do any work ) in the computer for a diagram of the axle breakdown, he could order for me, so I turned it over the the friend who's truck I was working on and he got it.
    Hope this helps, but that is the only place I could find it.

Thanks for chiming in... around me I have Autozone, Advanced, Bennett and NAPA parts stores so I print out this thread and then swing by and see if any of them can help out.

Thanks!

Mike

***Success**


Kevin at my local NAPA knew of a Dana website where he could look up the part number and then order it from Spicer.

Good deal!

Sounds like it would be a good addition to the parts numbers thread or section if it happens.

I take a picture of the packaging, part number and part and added to the parts number thread.
