How do I tell what rear it is? Im looking at replacing axle seals, seams the one that requires removal of the c clip will be easier that trying to press the other type on after pulling the axle out.

Thanks,

Is your diff cover roundish or six sided looking?

Based on the pic (thanks) its a D35. Is this the type with the pressed on bearings? Or is it the C clip style for axle removal? 87 laredo.
Thanks,

The 87 will be a non c-clip axle with pressed on bearings. The c-clip axles started in 90.

Rear Axles


Dana 35 non c-clip - 27 spline, 1.18" diameter shafts, 7.58" ring gear, 2.62" axle tube - used 84-89

Dana 35 c-clip - 27 spline, 1.18" diameter shafts, 7.58" ring gear, 2.62" axle tube - used 90-01

Chrysler 8.25 - 27 spline, 1.17" diameter shafts, 8.25" ring gear, 3" axle tube - used 91-96

Chrysler 8.25 - 29 spline, 1.21" diameter shafts, 8.25" ring gear, 3" axle tube - used 97-01

Dana 44 non c-clip - 30 spline, 1.31" diameter shafts, 8.5" ring gear, 2.75" axle tube - used 87-89 on some (not all) XJs equipped with towing package.


Note: Dana 35 axles sometimes referred to as Dana 35C - The "C" does not stand for c-clip. It stands for "custom" meaning it came from Dana unfinished.


Note: 8.25 axles - none of these axles were used on XJ's with ABS brakes. If you have ABS, you have the Dana 35. Without ABS you could have either axle. 8.25 axles are c-clip.

im having a hard time telling between the8.25 and d35. There is obviosly a size difference does anyone know how big the 35 is? Are the leaf springs a different size on the 35 than the 8.25?

The differential housing on the 8.25 has a flat bottom. If it looks completely round on the bottom it is a 35.
