Xj with th a 4cyl and 4.10 gears is a lp or hp front axle?

 

I think it depends on the year. Should be able to tell by looking at it – it looks exactly like what it sounds like.

 

I'm not understanding what your saying

 

XJs from 1988 to 1999 were equipped with high pinion Dana30 front axles.

 

Even with the 4.10 gears

 

Yeah, but if you want to make sure it's easy to tell the difference by looking at it.

 

 

This picture shows the difference between the low pinion and high pinion housings. It should clear up what everyone means by "just look at it." Low pinion on the left, high on the right. Notice how the pinion yoke is either below or above the center line of the axle.




The gears that are in the axle do not effect the housing.

 

3.73:1 was also stock with the 2.5L gasoline engine with the 3 speed automatic in the 84-85 models. At least it is in mine which is just a Pioneer standard model.

 

I stole your photo.
