ok so im new to jeeps so i hope this doesnt sound dumb. but i believe we have dana 30 front axles and i was wondering if a dana 30 front axle from a cj jeep would work on my 87 jeep cherokee. thanks

 

no cjs have the differential on the passenger side of the jeep our xjs have it on the driver side atleast the dana 30 in my 1980 cj5 is on the passenger side

 

yep, the diff is on the wrong side.

 

thanks, the only reason i need a new front axle is because i broke the lower spring mount on the drivers side and it made it un driveable and im trying to find a replacement. i can order the new brackets from rustys off road but its my only vehicle so i need a quick fix instead of welding them on

 

I had the same problem, bought a set of aftermarket replacement LCA mounts from JC Whitney for $65 or so, welded it on and no problems. Can't find the spare I had around. They are designed good, they have the slots to slide the bolts forwards and backwards to accommodate any lift you have.
