wanna order cromo axles for my d35 untill i can build a rear end, without opening my rear end , is my 89 xj none c clip?

Axle, not axel. '89 D35 were non-c-clip.

morgan320i

Thank u

OleBlue

Not all of the 89s are non c-clip. I would check.

morgan320i

27 spline?

OleBlue

they are all 27 spline however. Stock that is.

F1Addict

Oops! Sorry for the misinformation. I'm right about the spelling of axle, though, LOL

OleBlue, is there a way to tell if it's a c-clip D35 or not without tearing into the axle?

morgan320i

Picked up an 8.25 29 spline for a good price, with my gearing, going in, thx all

F1Addict

Nice!

Pull the wheel & drum & there should be 4 bolts holding a plate on.The plate holds the axle in.

So some disassembly is required, they couldn't make it easy by stamping the pumpkin. That's lame.

8.25 hardly better than d35 and definately has c clips. D44, 8.8, or 9".

OleBlue

the 8.25 29 spline is leaps and bounds better than the d35. Sure it has c-clips. Quit raining on his parade.

I run a locked 8.25 29 spline WITH c-clips on 35's with stock shafts. I dont worry about it at all.

i read alot about the 8.25 and how underated it is, and how much beter it is then a d35, also the differance between the 27 spline and 29 spline 8.25,
and tons of people runing lockers and welded difs with no problems,
i paid 100$ for a complete rear with u bolts and brackets, its the same gearing and i just need to swap my brakes
cheaper then any axles il ever find for the d35
go on google and look up d35 blown up and 8.25 blown up i cant even find a thread about one , even if it happens not as bad as a d35

I know a guy that has a 29 spline 8.25,stock shafts,33's,& a ARB locker.He hammers the thing with zero issues.
