you have a dana 30 front. more than likely a low pinion. and your rear is a chrysler 8.25

there really arent any bad axles that came on the XJ's, the fronts are always a dana 30. they started using low pinion front axles in i think year 2000 models also.

Yup. Only came with the D30. Phone app doesn't show me your profile but I think your pic shows a 97+ XJ. C8.25 isn't very exciting on earlier years

EDIT: deerrrp didn't notice your username. 29-spline C8.25 with low pinion D30

All xj's from 91-2001 had 8.25s...unless you had ABS..then you had the D35.

Close... ABS was only available on the D35 but both axles were shipped without.

my 92 had a d35 without ABS

just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it isn't out there.

Well hell, I guess Chrysler couldnt decide what axle to use then? I know that 97+ had the D35 Exclusively for ABS...I thought that was the same from 91.. guess not.
