Default Replacing rear axle- what years interchange?

Daughter got hit so we are replacing the rear axle in our 94 4wd Cherokee that has ABS.
It's a Dana 35 axle- what years /models will interchange? Do we need to be concerned with the Abs?
thanks in advance!

Any ABS equipped D35 from any year XJ will be a direct bolt in. Pay close attention to your current gear ratio and make certain the new axle is the same ratio.

Where you located? Just pulled my D35 w/ABS out of my 01. Give it to you for a song if you're close enough.....

Too far away, I'm in NY. Go to a Junk Yard and look for a 99, 00, or 01 with ABS. That axle will be a direct swap. Really simple. Just be sure to buy new U bolts (don't reuse the old ones) and torque them down 85ft/lbs if I'm mot mistakes.

D35 around here is under $100

Good luck.

Doesn't need to be from a specific year. Just grab an ABS D35 out from under any XJ.

In case you were not aware, the Dana 35 is the only model that came with ABS on XJs.
