mjeff87 Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Junkyard or someone with an older 2WD beam axle (with spindles). 92+ XJ's/MJ's used a unit bearing with a stub shaft to replace the older spindle design. You can swap one on to the inner C of an older axle, but you'll need to replace the brakes (rotor, caliper and pads) to a later model setup to match. Then you end up with mis-matched brakes on the front end..... I do have my old (87) 2WD axle still, but it's in a barn about 300 miles north of me at the moment. For what it's worth, it'd be probably just as much work to swap a whole new 2WD axle under it, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
