Well, Jeep will see the shop again. No surprise there. Front axle. Boy did I get the short end of that stick on that swap! Pinion bearings. Sigh! Ken will try to get it done before Sat trip to Cleghorn.

What swap was that? Did you trade a Dana 44 for a Dana 30?:bonk:holes = cowbell -
Nah on his first outing he granated his dana35 and after that he swapped 2 used axles with 4.10 gears I think.
As long as the gears are good changing the pinion bearings is no biggieComment

$70 for bearings and $100 labor. Sounds fair.
You're correct. Basically the front axle is pretty much rebuilt after this. The swap was for 89 axles which gave me non c-clip rear (D35) and 4:10 which I was told were good. Not the case. But, he got my good axles though. Live and learn.Comment

did you really swap a dana 35-C for a non c clip axle, and go through all of the work in making the 89 axle fit under your jeep?Originally posted by Jeep4cern View Post
why not just buy the super 35, or the superior dana 35 c-clip eliminator axles?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

No work. I didn't do it. It was done for free. Nothing to adapt. Straight bolt on.
The axles were free. Labor was free (someone did it). Not free anymore. But, I gained the 4:10 (huge improvement) and the non c-clip. With front axle rebuild, this swap went from free (was told axles were good) to a $500 (I think).Comment

well, you might still consider the superior c-clip eliminators, as they have the alloy axles, and have proven very effective up to 35" tires.Originally posted by Jeep4cern View Post>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
