Dummy Axle From 2Wd Worth Anything?


Recommended Posts

I think this is one of those times where this is a truely correct statement:

 

"Only worth as much as someone will pay."

 

If you have someone interested in it, sell it. Like a D35, they aren't very desirable, nor have any specific value to someone unless they need it.

Sparkles is a 96 XJ. The 2wd version uses the same unit bearings as the 4wd one, but with dummy shafts inside them to hold them together. The dummy shaft looks like an outer axle shaft, but instead of a yoke for a u joint it has a flat plate and a machined hole for an Allen wrench.

 

Don't know for sure when they went to that style, but I want to say 91.

The 2wd beam axle without unit bearings was around about the same time as the internal slave cylinder. Just another one of those things that they switched to for a short period of time just to piss us off.

 

I kept one around for awhile for no apparent reason... Then someone needed it for a roller, so it worked out. Monetarily... they're worthless, but if you've got the room to have it sit somewhere, I wouldn't scrap it.

My 91 2wd I just scapped did not have unit bearings. I'm thinking 96 was the first year the 2wds and unit bearings....
