I don't understand this - are you saying that even post 1997 all
Cherokees with ABS will still have the Dana 35?
How can I tell which rear axle I have? I'm in the UK if it makes a
difference, with a 1997 (facelift) Cherokee with ABS.

Re: Need advice re. buying a used XJ
Danny,
The cover differences are subtle. The most obvious difference is that
the bottom of the cast housing on the 8.25 is flat and protrudes past
the cover, whereas the bottom of the 35 housing is rounded like the cover:

http://jeep.avtograd.ru/axles/images/d35c.jpg
And yes, as far as I know, all XJs with ABS have Dana 35. On non ABS, it
can be the corporate 8.25 or the Dana 35. 8.25s appearing from '91-'96
have shafts that are just as weak as the Dana 35. From '97 onward, 8.25
axle shafts are significantly thicker with a higher spline count
