    think I found another good hot rod rear

     



    In my auto shop class, I was doing some brake work on a newer Jeep Cheroke Laredo, it was on a lift. The rear end looked pretty narrow so I took a look at it, I couldn't find a tape measure but I know it was like 53", I'll measure it if it is still there monday. It is a Dana rear end, I think it is like a Dana 30 or 44, not shure, factory disc brakes. not shure about gears. Probably lots of them in the yards.

    Cherokee has a Dana 44 or a Dana 35 or a Chrysler 8.25

    But you said it has disc brakes, which would mean you are talking about a Grand Cherokee.
    In that case, it's either an Aluminum diff D44 - they break a lot in jeeps. Or a Dana 35


    Should be 59-60" WMS-WMS

    It had Dana markings ( a little plug that said DANA ). and aluminum dosen't rust so it was probably the Dana 35.

    If that's the case, then its a C-clip axle. 1.18-inch 27-spline axle shafts. 5 on 4.5 bolt circle. You're better off with an 8.8 out of an explorer if you want a light duty axle.
