It's on a 1998 XJ Limited.

Not sure if this is a Dana35, Chrysler 8.25 or Dana44.

Car seems to have the tow package - extra oil cooler in the front...


Thanks.

D44 is very distinct and the 8.25 has a flat bottom, this is most definitely a D35... Unfortunately

correct me if im wrong, but could you also measure the axel tube as well, 2 3/4" u-bolts for a 35 and 3" u-bolts for a 8.25 (not sure about 44)

It is a 98. Doubtful to have a D44

OK, that's new information. Dana 35 C clip or not?

It seems to matter for the re-gearing and other parts I need to order.


Thanks.

I agree with this completely. Your time and money would be better spent on a new axle. But anyways, yes it is a c-clip

Don't regear the 35... save and swap.
