Can someone help me out real quick?

It's a D44 out of an 88 XJ.

I was told my rear D44 needs "axle seals" and the bearings (plus bearing raceway) needs to be changed.

I think i've found the right parts, but have never seen them in real life, so if someone can give me a quick yes/no it'd be much appreciated.

Also as for rear discs on a D44 i've heard i need the JK retainer ring. True? Anything else i should know?

 

I don't know if that seal is right. It list it as D30/44 which might mean for a front axle. Better look into that some more, or maybe call a business that would know rather than looking at pictures on the internet.

 

Why not ask him:

 

That D44 is junk. You should sell it and replace it with a D35 C-clip.

Seriously though, those seals are not the right ones, pretty sure those are for a front d30/d44.

XJ D44 does not have inner axle seals, only outer.

 

Didn't realize that. Sending him my number now and seeing if i can figure this out with him.

Would like to support a CF vendor.

I'm going to buy that if seriousoffroad doesn't have it. Thanks for the link.

 

Beat me to it. Randy's ring and pinion is actually a really good place to deal with. They're actually local to me so I can just stop by and pickup whatever I need.

 

The correct bearing and seal for the axle shaft is a National A-10 and the National Seal 9912.

Hopefully that helps.

As per our conversation, the retaining plate you need for the disc conversion is from an 03-06 Rubicon.

 

That helps a million. Just one more question. I was told i "need to change out the bearing on the shaft to match the new race in the housing".

Does this mean i have to buy a new race? I feel so dumb.

Just bought the retaining plate.

 

The bearing I posted comes with the race and the bearing retainer.

 

Thank you. Just getting things to make sense in my head.

Everything is now ordered. Just need to hit up a JY and find some ZJ backing plates.

 

Keep me mind for your future upgrades.

 

Will most likely be buying shocks and some other lift components really soon here from you.

Brother just got his 3.5" RE lift delivered today from you guys.

 

Another question. I've just become seriously confused.

When i bought this axle i got two axle shafts that were installed, and then three spares.

I think something is wrong though.

The first set of three in this picture are all 29 1/4" long. The first two (bottom of the picture) are what i pulled out of my axle when i bought it.

The top two are both 29 3/4".

Shouldn't the longer one be in the passenger side and the shorter one be in the driver side? Did the previous owner have something wrong here?
