Rear axle needs repair! What rear axle Do I Have?
I have a '91 2 door Cherokee.
It has the 4.0L HO engine with an Automatic Overdrive Trans.
The vehicle has around 275,000 miles on it.
From what the previous owner relayed to me was the engine/trans was replaced with another one and had 80K miles on it, not too long before he aquired the vehicle.
The rear axle on the passenger side has a lot of play in the outer axle bearing.
From the shape of the rear cover (from your chart) it appears to be a Dana 35.
Information stamped on the rear cover reads:
The previous owner also told me he bought the Cherokee from someone who had more than one Jeep in his yard.
Is this an axle that came in a '91?
Did someone swap out an axle when they swapped out the engine/trans?
If a shop was to do repair work to my cherokee, what year cherokee would they look under to get replacement parts/axle maybe?

But, thank you for another picture.
Does anyone have any answers to my original questions?

Could be a 35. Yes it could be original.
If this is the case, and it were mine, I would get a complete 8.25 from a junkyard and swap it in as a 35 isn't worth spending money on.
