ok i am 99% sure this will wok but i wanna be sure. i have the rear end from a 92 cherokee its a chrysler 8.25 my buddie just bought a 97 cherokee also with a 8.25 it screams and howls and the gears are all torn up. so i think we are just gonna swap in the one from the 92 that should all fit up with no problem correct? i kno that the spline count on the axle shafts is different but that is the only change right?

As long as they have the same ratio diff they will work fine, and you can change out the
27 spline for the 29 spline axles.
