96 rear differential
Have a 96 Cherokee Sport with a D35 that after 230,000 miles is starting to make some noise. Pretty sure it is the pinion bearing, maybe more. Found a 2001 Cherokee rear differential for cheap. Will this fit with no problem? Gear ratio is the same.

It will bolt right in but you may have to chane your U-bolt. I can remeber if a chryo 8.25 has a bigger diameter houseing or not. but if it is a d35 all you will have to do is unbolt and rebolt
