rylee144 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 I removed my 2wd axle and have a couple questions. Are the brake calipers the same? Are the roters the same? I believe they are. Thanks I want to sell/get rid of the axle but don't want to discard items that would work on my new 4wd axle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Calipers are the same rotors are not. Now if you had an 86- early 87 2wd axle, the knuckles and rotors are the same as 4wd knuckles until 89. But 2wd knuckles have the spindle built into it while the rotor holds all the bearings and such, thus making them incompatible with 4wd axles. Now I’m sure there’s someone out there who could be looking for those knuckles or rotors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rylee144 Posted December 19, 2020 Author Share Posted December 19, 2020 Just to confirm I won't need to swap the calipers i currently have. Thanks man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Shouldn’t have to. Should bolt right up. No problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rylee144 Posted December 28, 2020 Author Share Posted December 28, 2020 My old calipers would not fit. I swapped them but prolly messed it all up. Is the brake line put on correctly or do I need to flip it around? Secondly is the hub nut on right? The castle nut that hold the pin seems to sink in a ways to far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 What year is the D30? That nut in the center is more like a cover for the actual nut that holds the hub on while acting like a castle nut. Its weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rylee144 Posted December 28, 2020 Author Share Posted December 28, 2020 No clue, the xj was a 91 if I recall correctly. They swapped in a 8.8 rear so maybe that was swapped too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Ok that could be the problem why the calipers aren’t lining up correctly. Kinda the reason why the 84-89 knuckles are sought after because they can hold better calipers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the bearing in there -- and the big washer? Is there a bearing race behind the outer bearing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rylee144 Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 Mine is the 4wd option now, kind of. But well done sir! You are correct I am missing a washer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rylee144 Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share Posted January 15, 2021 Guy told me a Peugeot 5 speed cross member will support an ax15 transmission if you flip it around. Is that true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87MJTIM Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Th AX15 has a drop in the middle. The BA10 goes straight across Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
