Tried searching around but couldn't find much. I'm trying to find a high pinion d30 for my Cherokee. Found an 01 wrangler d30 but I don't know if it's the HP. Guy selling doesn't know either. I'm guessing it's low pinion?? Why would they have 2 different axles in production for same year?
Do pre 00 TJ 30's bolt in to Cherokees?

Lots of questions, I know. Thanks for replys

Same diff. Both are low pinion. The differences are in the caster adjustment. TJ's used cams at the diff and XJ's used shims at the body mount.

Man that's a killer deal. He's 3.5 hours from me though and I'm moving to St. Louis in 2 weeks. Still, hard to pass up a $50 axle.

What year did the axles switch to the larger u joints? And can you put a larger u joint axle shaft in say, a 92 with the smaller?

The tj is low pinion the zj is low pinion unless its a xj 99 and older its gonna be low pinion.Yes a axle from a tj a mj and zj will bolt right in a xj.Have you tried grade a,isa or even pull a part ?Or marshalls or amens in shepherdsville?Yes i know all the local junkyards lol.

yes the larger shafts will bolt right in. 1990-1996 with either ABS or equipped with NP242 had larger joints. 1996-2001, larger joints was standardized.

Only jeeps with hp30 with coil mounts came in Cherokees up to 1999. No other jeep models had it.

You're looking to drive 3.5 hours to pick up a lp30? I don't care if it were $2 it's not worth the time or gas to get it.

Looking for a high pinion 30. I have a perfectly functional low pinion in my vehicle right now.

Thanks for that u joint clarification Wonders

The 91-99 are the best years the older ones used cad which can be upgraded but i would leave those last option.
