2001 xj 4dr sport
I just bought it a month ago and since they day I brought it home it was making a grinding noise in the rear it starts grinding at15-20 mph and when I step on the gas the noise
kinda quites down and when I let off the gas it gets louder. Took it to a mechanic and after two days! Of looking at it he says The whole rear end needs to be rebuilt. But he's only changing axle bearings, carrier bearings and seals no actual pinion. Very expensive qoute to.
Any ideas

I'm pretty sure its a Dana 35. and definitely swapping the 35 for a 8.25 is nice I've never messed around with any drive line but I wrench on my engine all the time how difficult would it be or is it just a straight drop in no fuss and I'd be taking a huge chance with the jy piece wat if in say 5 miles or 5000 miles later the seals or bearings go out on the 8.25

OK yea its definitely a 8.25 but it says dana on it.? not a Dana 35 then and that beeping said what are my options now that I do have 8.25 do I still swap or rebuild and if I plan on lifting it 3 inches I want to prevent and odd or extreme angles on my shaft and yolk what will a transfer drop case kit enough.
