LP Dana 30 Housings
 

Can anybody tell me whether the Dana 30 axle housings and gears are the same
or not between a 2002 TJ Sport and a '98 Grand Cherokee 5.9 Limited? They
are both low pinion housings with 3.73 gears. The Grand has CV shafts and
ABS, the TJ has good old U-Joints and no ABS. However, the size and spline
count of the axle shafts is the same right? There may be some difference in
the knuckles that I don't care about, and the Grand has some sort of fancy
doohickey on the front of the front driveshaft, but the pinions should be
the same, eh?

The reason I ask is because the bearings are shot in the Grand Cherokee's
font axle (they're making noise) and I'm in the process of swapping out the
TJ front axle. I thinking of bolting the TJ's Dana 30 housing onto the ZJ,
keeping the ZJ knuckles and axle shafts on the ZJ. Will this work?

No one on this newsgroup knows anything about recent Jeep Dana 30s? Seems
hard to believe ...

Hi Pete,
Maybe you may figure it out by ordering the parts:
http://store.summitracing.com/defaul....asp&x=31&y=12
The standard rotation 3.73 appear to be the same. I used to think a Dana
44, was a Dana 44 from the forties on, but I learned the Rubicon uses
the Japanese thinner ring gear.

Sorry Peter, wouldn't want you to bet your money on my guess .....
The Jeep dealer should tell you if the part numbers are the same.
