1977 CJ 5 Blown Rear end
Help needed I have a 1977 CJ5 jeep with a V8 and stock rear end. The
rear differental failed and was replaced with a spool by previous owner now I am putting a differental back in to the rear end and could use any information on installation and set up. |
Re: 1977 CJ 5 Blown Rear end
Setting up rear ends is a job I think is best left to a pro. There are
too many variable and shims and pretorques involved for most mechanics to even tackle. It is a specialty. I feel comfortable rebuilding an engine, but won't touch a rear/front end except for some seals.

A spool gives you an incredible advantage off-road, for that little
squeal going around that ninety degree turn, and less mileage. http://www.differentials.com/install.html God Bless America, Bill O|||||||O mailto:-------------------- http://www.----------.com/ Wiggler wrote: > > Help needed I have a 1977 CJ5 jeep with a V8 and stock rear end.

I heard of a guy who used a spool and locking hubs in the rear, just kept
one locked and switched every week or so to keep the wear even. I must say I never saw the jeep nor do I know if this actually works. Just an idea.
