The 10129901 Dana planetary carrier is a genuine Dana part for planetary drive assemblies. In a planetary final drive, the carrier holds the planet gears on their pins so they can mesh with the sun gear and the outer ring gear, and that gearing gives speed reduction and extra torque at the axle. Wear in the planet pins, needle bearings or gears shows up as looseness in the planet set and damaged tooth surfaces, so the set is worth checking whenever it is apart. Call Pro Gear and Transmission with your axle model to confirm fit.FeaturesDana planetary carrierHolds the planet gears on their pinsPlanet gears mesh with the sun gear and the outer ring gearPlanetary gearing gives speed reduction and extra torque at the axle
