KANTANKRUS Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 Will this axle be a direct swap/bolt in, for my 87 Comanche? Please advise!
Longview Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 I put a 98 XJ HP30 in mine no problems. Other than deleting the cad system. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
KANTANKRUS Posted July 30, 2018 Author Posted July 30, 2018 Oops, I thought I included the parts vehicle... a 2000 Cherokee, into my 1987 Comanche. Yes, I want to eliminate the CAD. Plus, I need to match it to my rear diff (3.73) so, why not install the gearing on the parts axle, while it is out and then install it.
DirtyComanche Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 It's definitely a high pinion? 2000 is the transition year I believe. Be sure before you commit to using it. But yes, I'd use it over an early axle. The brake and hub parts are more plentiful (cheaper) and the knuckles are stronger.
Eagle Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 2000 Cherokee should be a low pinion. I own two, one bought November of 1999, the other at the end of the 2000 model run. Both are low pinion.
KANTANKRUS Posted July 30, 2018 Author Posted July 30, 2018 I seen with my own eyes, its a high pinion, so maybe the donor vehicle was a 99 model year then.
KANTANKRUS Posted July 30, 2018 Author Posted July 30, 2018 The owner is a Jeep guy, as well as a friend. He told me that it would need a carrier as well as a ring and pinion, for the rebuild. Now to see if another friend of mine, is willing to rebuild it! I do not know beans about building axles!
Eagle Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 If it's a '99, be careful. Jeep switched rotors in mid-year 1999. The early ones are the composite rotors that were used from around 90 or '91 up to mid-'99. These are, in a word, "crap." They are prone to warpage and, in the rust belt, they had a nasty habit of spontaneously disassembling themselves. To be able to buy replacement rotors and hub assemblies, you have to have the vehicle VIN, because they don't interchange (unless you change both the hub and rotor together).

And id imagen it being a 2000, probably auto, its 3.55 factory geared. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
