pitbull4x4 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Will the rear axle out of a 92 Explorer fit my 89 Comanche? I think it has the 8.3/4. My 89 is a 2WD now, just looking at parts when it becomes a 4WD. Also I found a 85/86 4WD Wagoneer with a 2.5 so I have the trans/transcase and front axle.

Automan2164 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Anything will fit with a welder and some perches... But nothing will be "bolt in" except for a Comanche axle. I would make sure that whatever axle you put in has gears that compliment your 2.5L, and that you can easily find a front axle in a Jeep flavor that would have a matching gear set. Is that what your asking? Rob L. :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitbull4x4 Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 That was what I was asking. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Automan2164 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I would see if you could find the 4.10's. Also, I think you might want to go for the later years if you are after an 8.8, as they got disc's later on. I am unsure if the early '90's ones sported disc's or drums. Be aware that the 8.8 is quite a bit narrower than the MJ rear, and will look weird without spacers. I think. 8) Rob L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btm24 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 From what I know you should look for a 95-01 if your looking into the 8.8. Also if you do do the 8.8 you will need wheel spacers due to tires rubbing. Brandon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjrev10 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Or do a super 88 with the 8.8 and forget about spacers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Or do a super 88 with the 8.8 and forget about spacers What's a super 88, and how does it eliminate the need for spacers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bajajunkie Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Did all the 95-01 8.8 come with 4.1 gears... and the early 90 had drum brakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 no. all sorts of gear ratios were available. pre 95 were drums, 95 and later were disks. other than that they are pretty much the same. car-part.com may be of some help in finding them locally in junkyards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bajajunkie Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 What other axles did they offer in the rear for the 2wd comanches? was there any others than d44? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 What other axles did they offer in the rear for the 2wd comanches? was there any others than d44? Most Comanches -- 2WD or 4WD -- had a Dana 35 rear axle. From 1986 through 1989 the Dana 35s did not use C-clips to retain the axle shafts. From 1990 through 1992 the Dana 35s were C-clip axles. The Chrysler 8.25 rear axle that was available in newer Cherokees was not used in the Comanche. In 1986 only, the standard axle was the Dana 35 and the heavy-duty axle was an AMC Model 20.
