Axle shaft question..
Ok I have a set of axle shafts from a 91 D30 XJ that had ABS.. So I am wanting to put these shafts into my 91 D30 that doesn't have ABS. My question is will the axle shafts fit without issue? I was looking at the factory parts manual and they list different part numbers for the knuckle with abs and without abs. So I just want to make sure. I want the new axle shafts because the abs ones are the 297 joints.

The only thing i can think of that would be different-would be the knuckle needs a mounting point for the abs pickup.. I think the tone generator is small enough to fit into knuckle with out interference. I could be wrong and somebody please chime in!

The shaft itself is the same except the tone ring and bigger U-joints. I drill a hole in the tone ring and then use chisel to break them off.

As soon as all this damn rain goes away I can get out and do it. I have new hubs,axle shafts and joints and ball joints to go on the front. Then I will move on to replace all the DS joints.
