'96 ZJ Rear Dana 35C housing issue
I've heard of the issue about a warped Dana 35C carrier housing from
jacking the trunk up under the rear, but has anyone hear of the Pinion
input housing area warping?
Situation: pinion bearing were singing, appeared to be a bearing
issue.
Upon pulling it apart, my mechanic says it's the pinion input portion
of the housing is now too big. He can easly put the bearing race in
with this hands and also remove it that way.
In talking to several gear shops, this is a known issue and I'll have
to replace the whole axle housing now. Ouch!!
New housing with everything but the axles and brakes are $1500 but I
get a 75K mile/3yr warranty.
I'd hate to replace with a used one that is already ahead of the game
in heading me back down the same road.

Re: '96 ZJ Rear Dana 35C housing issue
It is common for any spun bearing to take out the housing. If
you're going to keep a car ten years, doing the normal maintenance:
http://www.----------.com/lubeSchedule.pdf would have saved you this
problem. Fifteen hundred is a fair price, unless your willing to do it
yourself, which then you could probably find a Dana 35c with your ratio
for free. If you want to keep your wagon there's a Dana 44 with 3.54s on
Ebay:

Re: '96 ZJ Rear Dana 35C housing issue
I wouldn't spend $1500 on a D35C unless you don't wheel it. That could
easily put an 8.8 or something else under there.
