It is important to know which axle is being serviced, in order
to use the correct overhaul procedure. The manufacturing
code number on Passenger Car axles may be found on the axle
tube close to the carrier. It is the third letter of the axle code.
For example, if an axle had this axle number: HKP 218 DW,
the manufacturer could be determined from the third letter, P.
Truck axles are identified in this section by ring gear size. The
following chart lists pertinent information needed on Pas­
senger Car and Series 10-30 Truck axles.
