Renoenvy08 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 I just got a front axle from the junk yard and I was going to swap diffs, but now that I thinking can I just swap the whole thing? It's out of a 92 Cherokee and doesn't have the cad. And yes it's the same gears as the rear that's why I bought I right now I have 3.07 front and 3.55 rear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiser54 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 It will be just fine. Be sure to plug the vacuum lines on your truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Yes, just swap the axles. Down the road, though, remember that you will have to buy front brake parts for a '92 rather than for a '90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right -- my bad. Quote In general, the parts to be concerned with in keeping the front brakes compatible are the steering knuckles, the hub/bearing assemblies, the rotors, and the calipers. (There is a more complete enumeration of the interrelationship of these parts in Chapter 6, Axles.) Only two steering knuckle designs were used: 1984 through 1989, and 1990 through 2001. Left and right side knuckles are different part numbers within each group. Three different hub/bearing units were used. The hub/bearing units are the same for both sides of the vehicle. The different years for hub/bearing assemblies were: 1984 through 1989; 1990 through mid-1999 (composite rotors); and late-1999 through 2001 (cast rotors). Three rotor types were used: 1984 through 1989; 1990 through mid-1999 (composite); and late-1999 through 2001 (cast). Only two caliper types were used: 1984 through 1989, and 1990 through 2001. Left and right side calipers are different part numbers within each group. The above is copyrighted. Please do not reproduce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
