axle

Basically what the title says, I'm planning on driving down to PA tomorrow to pick up a Dana 30 with a set of 4.88s and a ARB air locker, As far as I can tell its the older 3 piece style ARB which I've heard mixed opinions on, can someone who knows more about gears/axles tell me if I'm getting...

Hey all, I’m trying to future-proof some upgrades on my ’05 TJ and could use some thoughts. Current setup: 2005 TJ 4” Savvy lift on 35s Rear: Super Dana 35 w/ chromoly shafts Front: Dana 30 w/ chromoly shafts Driveshafts: Adams 1310 double cardan front and rear Current Project: I’m swapping...

Hello everyone, I am currently in the process of Re-Gearing and installing an ARB Air Locker into my Jeep TJ Dana 44 Rear Axle. After a few months of watching BFH Garage videos and doing my own research I now felt ready to tackle the project. I was hoping I could get some feedback on the below...

Hi! I’m a long time lurker, just purchased my TJ used a couple months ago but have wanted one forever. I come from a JLUR but wanted something a little more dedicated and simple. I’m half way through my 1976 F-100 Dana 44 high pinion front axle swap and I’m hung up a bit on the brake line...

I've always noticed a bit of a vibration from my front right wheel. Over the course of the last year I've replaced the axles, ball joints, hub, breaks, and shocks. I have all new tie rods, as well as control arms. Basically the whole front end has been rebuilt over the course of the last year...

Hey everyone! I have a 2002 TJ with the 2.5 in it. My dad bought this Jeep when I was 5 and I am looking to fix it up as I have started my career and can start having some real fun with this! I do use my jeep as a daily driver (maybe 10 miles a day since I work close to home). I am waiting on a...

I’m installing new chromoly axle shafts in my Dana 30. Passenger side went in fine. The driver’s side slide in easy but the hub bearing isn’t setting flush in the knuckle. If I torque it down it’ll rotate fine with the wheels straight, but if I turn the steering wheel and rotate something is...

So I’m looking at doing a re gear on my axles and I was wondering what years did the tj have air lockers for the rubicon. (My axles were swaped) And I was also wonder if I could use the factory air system and just hook it up to arb air lockers, any help would be appreciated

Hey fellow, jeepers, I am looking for input and suggestions. I have a 1997, 4.0/5 speed manual with a 6 inch lift 35 inch tires, and factory 3.07 gears in a Dana 35 rear and Dana 30 front. I recently noticed a significant leak coming from my front pinion seal. I also have a little bit of noise coming...

Dear TJ Forum Members, I would like to ask for your collective (and individual) wisdom with a problem I have. In a sentence - a workshop took off diff from my Dana44 without marking bearing caps, and I am now trying to identify left and right one before installing ARB locker. I have read...

I was out the other day on moderate trails and on the way back there was a loud knocking in the front end that I could feel through the wheel and the floor. when I got home I jacked up the front end and I spun each wheel separately, they spun freely for almost a full rotation and then would...

Had a u-joint decide to preform an unexpected rapid disassembly and proceed to bend the ears on the axle shaft and short end (yoke?) of my jeep. Driver/left side. So, I need to replace those. Details are that I run 33” 12.5wide tires and I’m counting 30splines, so apparently the prior owner...

Pulled my diff cover to change gear oil after a healthy mud weekend and found the shims were sticking out. How the hwll does that happen and what do I do now? Makes no notable noises or anything. Any body have any insight? Its a dana 30 high pinion with 456 gear and a zip locker with rcvs Thanks

I have a Rubicon rear axle with 5.13 gears and (5) 35"x12.5 on 15" steelies. asking 2500 or best offer/trade. I'm in North Orange County. I can drop of it somewhat local. I'll get better pics.

I got bit by the bug and want to dive into upgrading my axles. I am set on getting crate axles from one of the big suppliers (currie, ecgs, teraflex, G2, etc) I currently am running 33s on my 30/35 set up. During my upgrade I want selectable lockers, disc brakes, and RCV's. ECGS Dana...

Hey guys I was under my Jeep (1998 tj 4.0 manual, 97k) and noticed my rear drums have a lot of gunk around them. Well mostly driver side. This is my first vehicle with drums so not sure what’s going on. Jeep runs drives and stops great as far as I know. I’ll include pictures of driver side...

Just wondering is low pinion stronger than high pinion for dynatrac 60 axle? Thanks.

Sunday wheelin ended up with this: broken rear left axle (Dana 35) ! Sounds strange for a 4.0L with 2inches lift and 31” Cooper tires (lsd rear). It happened on a long climb on light/medium rocks with 4 people and bags inside. No bouncing, no full throttle, just heavy load and not the best grip...

I pulled some junkyard axles with 4.10 ratio (stock axles on 4 cylinder automatic) planning to swap them into my Jeep (still running stock 3.07). The axles I pulled kinda look like they're in bad shape and very rusted. I've spent a few hours already stripping scale off and here's where I'm at...

04 TJ 4.0L, stock as far as I can tell. 30.5” tires. Owned it for 6 months. Skidded out in the snow into a curb with my front passenger wheel/tire. My front passenger lower control arm got pretty bent. The Jeep now pulls to the right and to go straight I have to keep the wheel at 10-10:30...
