    Oklahoma OEM axle shafts front and rear

    I just upgraded to chromoly. front Dana 30 27 spline OEM axle shafts. about 5k miles on sealed Spicer 5-760x u-joints. Ran with 32's and an open diff.

    Axle pulled out

    What did I do wrong? 3 days ago I replaced me rear axle seal and bearing. Last night as I was pulling into a parking spot at work my axle came undone. The retainer plate basically pulled off everything that was pressed on my axle. Left it all in the tube. I pressed everything on the correct...

    Broken clutch pieces in Trac Lok Dana 44

    I’ve finally gotten around to throwing the Dana 44 in that I bought about a month ago. I went to inspect the diff before filling it and I found this piece of the inner most clutch disk on passenger side, sitting in the pocket under the pinion,hiding in leftover fluid. Half of that plate is...

I know swapping a used ring and pinion alone are a PIA, but if i take the ring and carrier with Trac lock out as a...

    What is this leak (drive side axle end)?

    Still a newbie and need help identifying this leak. Noticed some dampness near the front axle end (drive side only). Is this common, and does it need immediate attention?

    Questions about installing new ball joints on my TJ

    I am looking at swapping out my ball joints this weekend. Is it absolutely necessary to have to remove the axle to remove the ball joints, or is there another way. If I have to remove the axle, is it as easy as sliding it out and sliding back in? Do I have to mark the spline and put it...

    Do I need a new wheel bearing or a new axle?

    Recently my jeep developed a very loud squeak from the front passenger side wheel. The squeak seems to be louder at lower speeds, and it speeds up and slows down with the rotation of the tire. It occurs regardless of brake pressure, and will happen only when I'm turning (direction doesn't...

    Best axle upgrade for 36” tires on a 97 Wrangler?

    Looking to run a bigger tire size on my 97 TJ, currently has the Dana 35 re-geared to 4.10 I believe. Put 36s on and from what I've read a stock 35 won't handle that 36x13.50 for too long. Friend of mine has 36s on his jeep and the rear-end has gone out 2 times so he is putting in a ford 9-inch...

    Dana 35 axle shaft won't come out

    So a while back I got in a bad accident and now my rear left wheel is sitting kinda cock eyed. I thought it was where the wheel meets the brake since the back drum plate and the guts of the drum brake were bent to shit. But in order to replace the drum plate with the new one (in pic) I need to...

    Built Dana 30 with 5.13 gears vs Built Dana 44 with 5.38 gears

    2004 Jeep LJ Auto 42RLE Dana 30/Dana 44 Have 35s waiting to be put on. I’ve seen recommendations for my setup at 5.38 gears, but the front Dana 30 can only do 5.13. Should i try to find a front rubicon Dana 44 to get the larger size R&P to fit? Plan on building both axles up to support 35s with either choice...

I’m looking for a Dana 44 front axle, this guy on FB Marketplace says he has a Dana 30 with the factory 4.10 gears from a 2004 sport, but they didn’t come with those gears, I’ve attached pictures. Could someone tell my by the picture if this is a Dana 30 or 44? If it’s a 44 then is it in good...

    Super 35 Kit or axle swap worth it?

    My TJ has the Dana 35 and 30 and I want to run 35s. My question is, can I get away with this combo? I would also upgrade brakes and steering because those aren’t as expensive. The Jeep mostly sees forest service roads and mud, so no heavy wheeling.

    Pennsylvania Ford 8.8 rear axle

    I am selling a Ford 8.8 rear end from a 2007 Ford F150 XL 2WD. I recently swapped it for a Ford 9.75" rear end, so I cannot send it in as a core. The ring and pinion has significant slop, which is the reason it was removed. It will have to be regeared. It still has the worn out factory 3.55...
