Replace axle on 1991 Cherokee
I need to replace a bent drivers side (rear) axle on a 1991 Jeep
Cherokee 4x4 with ABS / Auto / 4.0 L engine. I'm wondering how difficult this will be to do in my garage with simple hand tools. As far as I understand it, I need to: - Remove the wheel - Remove the drum - Remove the differential cover >From here, how do I get the old axle off? Do I need special tools? I have average technical skills, and have done some light car repairs in the past. Is this something I should not attempt? Can anyone recommend a place to buy the replacement axle? Thanks in advance, Bud |
Re: Replace axle on 1991 Cherokee
Sounds like you have a bent axle shaft, and not a bent axle housing. Are
you positive that the housing is not bent? Also can you tell us what axle you have? Is it a D35, that would be my guess. Some axles come apart a little different than others.

Re: Replace axle on 1991 Cherokee
The markings on the differential are "35C", which I assume is a Dana
35C. I am not positive the axle is bent. All I know is that the wheel woobles when turning as a result of being hit by another car on that side. I was told the most likely culprit was the axle shaft, not the housing. Looking underneath the car I cannot see any visible damage to the housing, but this probably does not mean much. I won't be able to tell for sure until I get the axle shaft out and inspect it. Thanks much for your reply. Bud |
