Did all Xj wagoneers come with a Dana 44 rear end? Seems like like I read that somewhere.

nope, but every d44 i've found was under an 87 model year. either a cherokee, waggy or manche.

Caged is right. My 88 had a Dana 35 under it.

87-89 only, with a towing package.

Mine came out of an 88 Cherokee Larado, and the 87 Limited I use to own came from the factory with one.

ive pulled a 44 from a 87 and a 89 xj neither were waggy's but my buddy's 87 waggy did come with one

caged

my 89 limited with towing package had a d35.
but both my 87 basic models had 44s.

Hi

VERY old post, but I wonder if your 87 waggys have THIS D44 at the back.
it looks like a SJ differential.

why do I care ? Because I want to change my wheel bearings and want to be sure of what to order.

Are the wheels 6 lug or 5? SJ axles are 6 (or 8 if it's a J20) lug.

Gotta be an XJ.

Good to know It is a dana 44 (maybe with an aftermarket cover).
I know my brake drums ate 10".
If I understand well I probably had a towing package (not present anymore.)

So my ultimate question is what wheel bearing should I buy for the rear.

I can not dismantle the part and go to a local store as there are none with jeep parts.
So I need to order the right, then ask a garage to install them.

On RBS Handel, where I buy parts in Germany, they seem to advise this part, but it is written Dana 35 on the diagram... Will it fit ?

Looks like a stock cover to me.
Even has the factory tag.

So I can order this with confidence ? REF 8124052 Crown Pinion Outer Bearing Kit

In your opinion, Should I also buy the INNER BEARING KIT and change it
[This would be a good idea if changing the wheel bearings involves accessing easily to the inner bearings).

thanks for your feedback

That's a stock cover.

The part number you referenced is for a pinion bearing. That's not something you just change without ripping the whole differential apart. There is also a lot of set up to do afterwards.

The wheel bearings should be: TIMKEN SET 10

"Inner wheel bearings" would be the carrier bearings. I wouldn't just change those out unless (again) rebuilding the whole differential.
