98 chero front axle?

[zagscrawler]

Does anyone know for sure what axle comes out of a 98 4x4 4cyl 5spd cherokee? If its the d30 hp 4.10geared then does this unit come with the larger u-joints at the hub then the older cherokee's? Ive resorted to junkyard searching for my front axle and would like to get the best d30 out there. Thanks all

If it's original, it should be a HP D30 4.10 geared with the bigger U-joints.

 

Even if it has the small joints, A 4.10 HP D30 is always worth it for a decent price.

last price i got was 300 for a '88 d30 4.10. seems a little steep to me but he said he would open it up and make sure its in good shape. What is the avg. price for a 98 or newer front axle? Also what year did they stop using the hp d30 4.10 setup in these things? Thanks guys

99 was the last year any Jeep saw an HP D30.

 

$300 is a bit steep, even for a 4.10 geared axle. It's not unlikely you could find an entire 2.5/5 speed/4wd XJ for $400-$500.

I have a '97, '98 D30 and a 2001 chrysler with 3:55, No 4:10, darn it, that anybody can have for $100.
