so recap, get a
97+ 8.25 29 spline (bolt in)
87-89 D44 XJ No c-clips (bolt in) (rare)
95+ ford Explorer 8.8 with disk brakes. requires little welding.

All 130$ from tear apart....

now go grab one!

Mine runs tom.... Mine runs

I have had to replace C-clips before for "wearing thin" and causing the shafts to walk in and out more then normal. it wouldn't stop me from running one if i had one, but If I had to pick from 2 axles and one didn't have them I would go without C-clips.

One C-clip, VS A plate, pressed bearing and retainer, with a snap ring.... makes sense to me...

I didn't know you where such a 8.8 guy lol

My bad, poor choice of words mine is complete.

It wasn't a 8.8, but doesn't change anything in how it works/fails. it was a GM rear end.

Sure seam like a 8.8 guy, getting a little butt hurt over a small comment lol

My name is Tristin by the way...
