  1. WJ Grand Cherokee Forum
    I have recently gone to replace my Rh rear axle , all came out fine but mine is a 2001 and the axle came out of a 2004 . They are supposed to be the same but the new one falls ably an inch short of slotting in , feels like it might be hitting the cross pin as it does go into the gears . Theses...
  2. Jeep CJ Forum
    Is an AMC 20 rear axle with a one piece axle shaft conversion, better than a Dana 44 axle with the same rear gearing? i have access to both, but I can't decide witch one I want to install. The Jeep is just a cruiser with a really powerful motor for its weight. I'm scared I'm gonna grenade the...
  3. Jeep MK Compass & Patriot Forum
    [Sorry, this is going to be a long post... any help or advice would be appreciated!] My husband and I own a 2015 Jeep Patriot, we bought it used in 2016. It now has about 75,000 miles on it and has served us well. That is, until the beginning of December. My husband heard an odd squeaking...
  4. Engines & Drivetrain
    hey guys. first post here and fairly new to the jeep game as well, so bare with me here. I have a 96 grand cherokee ZJ with dana 35 3.55 disc brakes. It was given to me by my father and was told the axle shaft bearing and seals needed to be replaced. Shortly after, (a week, maybe two) i'm...
  5. ZJ Grand Cherokee Forum
    My 95ZJ has been making a wonderful howl/groan from the rear axle when reversing but here's the catch, It only happens when- 1) Its been parked over night (6hrs or more) 2) Was last driven in the rain (I live in Seattle so this is often) 3) Only in reverse Specs: 95 ZJ V8 Orvis. 240,000 miles...
  6. ZJ Grand Cherokee Forum
    Hey folks, Its been a while since I last posted. However, we've had a recent addition to our collection; a 96 Limited Zj in purple. The girlfriends 96 windstar is on a downward spiral, so I bought this off a friend for 500 bucks. She loves it! Now heres the good: -Very little rust -heat and ac...
  7. TJ Wrangler Technical Forum
    Hey guys and gals, So for the past month or so I've noticed my 04 tj kind of stutters when I drive it first thing in the morning. It feel like it's coming form the rear axle and only happens in first gear. After a few minutes of driving it doesn't happen anymore. The suspension and drive train...
  8. ZJ Grand Cherokee Forum
    Hi there, I'm new to the forum but im having problems with my 98 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The rear axle keeps getting loose and the only thing stopping it from falling apart on the passenger side is the brakes and it's causing the brakes to get hot. I think the retainer clip is getting ate up...
  9. YJ Wrangler Technical Forum
    First statement: I know the 35 is weak and I know I should swap it out.... I am not in the position to make that happen and I need this thing back on the road so: I Broke the spider gears, I ordered this: Trac Lok Differential Gear & Clutch Disc Set 708184 OEM Spicer Dana 35 707349X...
  10. YJ Wrangler Technical Forum
    Anyone in the Ashburn Va. area an expert on Dana 35's? I am changing out the side and spider gears and can not seem to get them to fit right, they are close but too tight..... Almost seems like if the side gears moved outward a couple of mm it would work... The clutches are new as well...
  11. XJ Cherokee Technical Forum
    Hi everyone, I have a '93 XJ, 4.0, AX-15 that I use for my daily driver/ hunting rig I was doing some regular maintenance stuff the other day and thinking that my rear axle seems like its getting a little tired ( completely reasonable at nearly 300k) anyway i was hoping to get an idea of what...
  12. TJ Wrangler Technical Forum
    Looking for some expertise. My rear differential failed on the way home from the lake in my TJ (right across the street from a Jeep dealer). A quick tow and a $2200 estimate later to install a remanufactured rear end got me looking into options. I am not an off-roader and I know the...
  13. TJ Wrangler Technical Forum
    In a previous post, I determined that I have to replace my rear end as just about all the gears inside are worn. My current axle is a stock Dana 35 3.73 with track lock. I found an ad for a Dana 44A or 44HD off a WJ. It has calipers, but nothing in the ad about a track lock system. The guy is...
  14. TJ Wrangler Technical Forum
    Been hearing a strange scraping, screeching noise coming from the rear of the jeep for awhile now. I was convinced it was the transfer case, but my mechanic thinks it's worn gears in the rear-end. When I jacked it up in the air and spun the tires, I could hear the scraping noise in 2H and a...

    my rear passenger side wheel has rubbed against my fender flare but my driver side wheel has not, i think my passenger side wheel sits further up towards the front than the driver side wheel does. i dont drive recklessly, such as dumping the clutch or anything like that. if this is the case how...

It developed Tues of this week. Anyway I took it to a trusted mechanic we have worked with for years, he says its my rear...
  17. Jeep CJ Forum
    I am trying to finish up a CJ I am building for my son. I ordered the cables last winter and am getting ready to put them on when I notice the axle I have is not an AMC20. Possibly a dana 44 off of an older CJ. I need the correct e-brake cables but was told they were ran differently on the...
  18. TJ Wrangler Technical Forum
    Hey fellow jeepers, I am proud to say I am new to the forum as well as jeeps. I just bought (three weeks old) my first 2000 jeep wrangler sport 6 cylinder 4.0L TJ. It has 137,000 miles and runs like a beauty. I have been in the process of fixing up some minor problems (thermostat) and noticed a...

    Im in the process of swapping out my rear axle (44a) for an identical one and I'm replacing the track bar while i'm at it and i was curious: at roughly 4.5" of lift should i keep my rear track bar relocation bracket or use the factory mount?
