  • how does this happen

    i was stopped at a red light and when i was taking off my rear axle started popping, i just happened to be right up the road from the dealership (thank god) so i pulled in and got them to take a look they put it in reverse and it was popping just as it did with me so i figured, snapped axle, but didnt know why but my rearend was leaking because there was a hole in it they said that the gears threw a pin through the case how does that happen...

    It's not what you have. it's what you do with what you have.

      Why?

      Dana 35's have a documented history of failure at the c-clip, this sounds like a carrier issue.

        well do the dana 35's just up and decide to throw pins, or the c-clip just f*** up bc it's beyond me could it be the vibrations of my driveline bc of the lift im really confused...

          Stock axle, or have the gears been changed?

            they are stock axles with a 3.07 rearend but i still dont know what caused it bc the tires are only 32x11.50 so i am just pissed that all this happened

              Ever notice Jeep dosen't offer 32" tires from the factory.

              Theat being said, I'm suprised in the failure. A few folks wheel their Jeeps around here with stock axles and 33s.

                but thats only one inch taller than a tire that jeep does offer, and my buddy has an 03 with a 6" lift on 35"s with stock axles and that is a shit load of difference...

                  actually..
                  the 30 inch tire and wheel package came with my dana 44, and rubicons have dana 44's, so a 32" tire is really 3" taller than most dana 35's see from the factory.
                  WHy must is be a dana 35??
                  because the carrier is smaller, spider gears are smaller, the housing deflects more....
                  I would say that a C-clip got into the spider gears and the carrier broke.
                  It's not what you have. it's what you do with what you have.
