Does anyone know the rough cost for a Dana 44 complete axle? I found one for $350 but it just seems like too much $$. if you have one what did you end up paying for yours? is 350 too much? Thanks,

Andrew

 

You didn't specify front or rear.
My rear dana 44 was out of an 89 Cherokee ($350) someone took it out and:
- painted the housing
- installed a Lockright locker by Richmond Gear
- There were no brakes on it
Just got a good deal from a guy that started it and never installed it.

Front Dana 44 rubicon ($2480 shipped) from Missouri 4x4 Supply with:
- Auburn Ected locker
- Yukon 4.56s
- Superior Cromo shafts

 

lots of factors
condition?
front or rear?
what its got on the inside?
whats it out of?

 

$350 is not a bad price if it is out of an xj,direct bolt in and it is all there and in good shape.

 

Sorry I forgot to specify, a rear diff out of an 87 cherokee. complete, in good shape with new drums/brakes etc. 110 k on the diff

 

Yes that is a good deal,I paid $180 for mine,but it has alot more mileage on it and it was in a junk yard which is rare too find them there. I see them range from $300 to $500 stock if it is being sold by an individual.

 

i found waggy 44s for 125 each

 

Are the Waggy 44s the same width as cherokees? For some reason I feel like I measured one and it was narrower?

 

no, they are wider by 1" Waggy 44's = 61.5" wms-wms cherokee 44s = 60.5" wms-wms

 

Cool! I have 3 of those. That gives me some ideas.

 

holy crap you have 3?? thats awesome!

Im gonna put some under my jeep when i lift it which should be in the next few weeks

 

They are all rusted out junk but the axles should be fine still.

 

yeah, just take a wire wheel to em for a while lol

 

$350 - $400 is about the going rate on a private party sale D44. They can be found at the JY, but good luck.

That's why I went w/a 8.8. $99 at JY and plenty of them. Spent another $100 on parts, welding, etc. Not really bolt on, but 4:10 ratio,... stronger than a 44. Oh and ummm... let's seee.... oh yeah, disc brakes too.

 

i searched for MANY!!! months for my XJ D44. It was the Cash For Clunkers that brought it to me...but they are worth a easy 500$
