dana 30

I will be building-up a Dana 30 high pinion from a 98 XJ (no CAD) for my LJ and am requesting build advice. I currently have a 3" lift with 33" tires and will be installing 4.88 gears. There is a small chance of 35" tires and 5.13 gearing in the future. Questions: Should I truss my axle -...

I am regearing my Dana 30 after completing the rear a few months ago. This axle has been much more of a pain, I attempted to use shims behind my carrier bearing races like i did on my rear but quickly found out how aggrivating it was. I decided to pull the bearings from my carrier and use one...

Alright my fellow TJ owners, what do you think of my pattern? Drive Side Coast Side

Hey yall, had my 97 wrangler sport for almost 6 years this September and im finally going dana 44s, trusses, sleeves and 4.88s to run 37s. Anyways I was told the Precision CV Axle Shafts for the dana 30 would be a great direct replacement for the U-Joint style shafts, for now till I get the...

Dana 35 & 30 Axles - 2000 TJ Avail for local pick-up

If this has already been discussed and I've just failed to find the post I'd love a link. So, Dana 44 front axles are actually quite affordable in the US especially considering their rarity (im just looking at ebay as a reference) but shipping to the UAE where I live is kind of expensive, at least...

I have a 2004 sport that has the factory option for 3.73 rear axle gear ratio on the dana 35. Does this mean that the front dana 30 has a 3.73+ carrier? Im trying to regear to 4.88 on a tight budget and dont want to buy a new carrier if i dont have to.

Hello Fellow Members, First, I want to thank @hosejockey61 for his amazing instructions on axle rebuilds & locker installs. I am doing this exact setup from his video - with ARB locker, Revolut gears, and HP dana 30 from XJ. The problem I encountered is the following: after setting up...

I am currently replacing my 3.73 gears with 4.56, and noticed that the housing is not fully machined to allow oil to drain from between the pinion bearings. The top is open to allow gear oil to be slung into the area. It could be intentional to force oil to collect and lubricate the bearings...

Now that my 2003 X has become my daily driver, I’m looking for some advice on ways to create a more capable off-reader that still holds its own on the highways. I live in Central Texas, so being able to drive 75mph is a must if I’m going to get anywhere. Right now, I’ve got the 4.0L with...

I have a matched pair of Dana 30 and Dana 35 axles, open diffs, 3.07 gearing from a 97 wrangler TJ. The 35 was recently rebuilt and has drum backing plates. They are both in good working order and were only replaced for an axle upgrade. $400 obo.

So I got hit in the front driver side in my 97 TJ 4cyl 5 speed. It shoved the driver side wheel back, and busted the transfer case. Even though the lady was on my side of the road and hit me while she was swerving back over, somehow they ruled it no fault so I have to fix everything out of...

Tore down the double cardan joint on my front driveshaft to rebuild it. Unfortunately it looks like I need a new driveshaft… The shaft is badly worn. You can easily feel all of the visible marks. The centering yoke has a small amount of play in the ball and socket joint. The retaining ring...

When assembled, it won't unlock. The install manual says there needs to be .005-020" clearance between the spacers and the cross pin. I have 0.010" - so it's safely within the range and even on the lower third. Once assembled, it says there needs to be 0.154-170" between the drivers...

I changed my wheel seals in my front Dana 30 this weekend and both sides are already leaking worse than what they were. Any ideas? I used a seal press tool to set the seals back flush. Should I have kept going till it stopped?

Anyone ever swap axles between a Rubicon and Sport and put the Dana 30/d35s in the rubicon? I have access to a rubicon and the owner doesn't care about lockers and Dana 44. I have a sport and would love to do a direct swap. Anyone have experience doing this type of trade and making both jeeps run...

For sale, NIB, Eaton ELocker 19818-010 Performance ELocker for 27-Spline Dana 30 with 3.73 and Numerically Higher Gear Ratio.

I noticed a leak in the front diff the other day, so decided to try a drain and fill. But once I got into it I couldn’t leave that nasty old cover the way the previous owner left it. So what should have taken and hour or so ended up taking 4 hours. But I’m much happier with a rustproofed...

Hey guys first post here hoping someone can help me out. I have an Aussie locker in my front Dana 30 with 33x12.5 tires. When I’m driving in the snow down a straight road i hear a clunk noise and my car pulls hard to left for a couple seconds. It then goes away and drives straight perfectly fine...
