The 10.5" 14-bolt differential and axle is quite popular with Jeep Wrangler owners who want to upgrade their standard Dana 30, Dana 35, or Dana 44 axle. While the 10.5" 14-bolt axle is heavier than the standard Dana axles offered on the Wrangler, it is much stronger.
The first version was produced from 1985 to 1992. The second version, produced from 1993 to 1997 featured a stronger pinion/yoke. This corrected a known, but rare, issue of the pinion yoke nut working loose. The first and second versions of the 10.25 axle are colloquially known as “short pinion-yoke” and “long pinion-yoke” respectively.

The tool size needed for removal and installation depends on the type of lug nut. The three most common hex sizes for lug nuts are 17 mm, 19 mm, and 21 mm, while 22 mm, 23 mm, 11 ⁄ 16 inch (17.5 mm), and 13 ⁄ 16 inch (20.6 mm) are less commonly used.
All Dana 70 rear axles are full floating and typically have a gross axle rating of 7,500 lb (3,400 kg). The Dana 70 rear axle was first used in the Dodge W300 in 1958. The Dana 70 started out using 10 spline pinions and 23 spline axle shafts. The later, more current, Dana 70 axles use 29 spline pinions and 32 or 35 spline axle shafts.
Another variation of lug nut is the "locking wheel nut", which is used as a theft prevention method to keep thieves from stealing a vehicle's wheels. When utilizing locking wheel nuts, one standard lug nut on each wheel is replaced with a nut that requires a unique key (typically a computer-designed, rounded star shape) to fit and remove the nut.
