The shock mounting plates (#5 below) will fit either axle. It's the reinforcement plate (#12 below) that's axle-specific.

Austin, the two beefier looking shock mounting plates on the left in your picture is what I have on my 91. There are no reinforcement plates. The setup with the reinforcement plates on the 90 and below models is shown on the right side in your pic. Of course the parts manuals make no mention of this design change.  :fs1:   That drove me a little bit crazy for awhile setting up the D44..........

Ones on the left look like the best shape also. If the left ones will fit with no support on my 89 d44 if yes I would like to have them if no I will take the others.

The left set will work on your D44; that's the same set I have on mine. Only not as rusty.  :yes:   The right set, unless it came from a D44, will not work. There were two different reinforcement plates made, one for the 35 and one for the 44, and they are not interchangeable.

The info on the design change is good to know, the pictures make it even better. I wonder how many other changes didn't get documented during the AMC to Chrysler transition years and is there a thread on this or other forums that might list others?
