Found a pair of HX One tonner stubs today, I noticed they both have DX crudely stamped in the back of them......Anyone know what this stamp means?

These stubs also have part numbers 9943696 & 9943695 cast in them, I believe these part numbers are the same as A9X stubs?

Those are the correct part numbers for A9X and HX one tonner (post-alloy calipers) stub axles.

 

I've heard of HX tonner stubs having "HD" stamped (not cast) into them, which I assumed meant "Heavy Duty".

 

So "DX" may be some variation of that, maybe "D" is for heavy duty and "X" for HX, or LX, or A9X, but that's only a guess?

Just had another thought... the "H" is more likely to indicate "Heat Treated", which the normal stub axles aren't?

 

EDIT: Never mind, I forgot you don't have the "H"

Hx/A9X also has more king pin inclination so maybe something else to consider with stamping.

The A9X ones do have heat treatment

The A9X ones do have heat treatment

 

The heat treatment is clearly visible on the ones I have.
