The 92 Service Manual says the Explorer 4x4 uses Dana model 35 front axle.
I would guess that the 91 was the same.

the clerk at the store is telling me there are two options. Of course he
told me to look at the vin code which i knew was wrong...you need the axle
code off the door.
I got the code....45
now i'm just thumping the net for what the code means in terms of which
axle.
I got that it is a 3.55 ratio...other than that i am stumped thus far.
I guess i need to pull it apart and compare the parts.

'91 Manual says to check tag on axle. Dana 35 code is F07A while
the Dana 28 code is E87A. No mention of a code 45 for front axle.
The only axle identification I found was for the rear.

Hope this helps
