Newbie here. Rear diff. Change.
Hey guys. I'm new on here and am looking at getting a 94 XJ. Talked to the guy and he said the rear limited slip is a little worn and makes a little noise. And after he opened it up said it's the differential. Does that mean I would have to replace the gears in the axle? If so how much do you think it would cost and how hard? I currently have a 01 wrangler TJ and am looking to get this XJ. thanks for the help!

An axle swap would be the easiest and cheapest, but maybe not for a self-proclaimed newbie. It depends on how much he's willing to get his hands dirty. Might be better off just getting one that doesn't have differential problems.

A swap with a junk yard axle from another XJ only requires simple hand tools. Rebuilding the differential is a lot more involved and requires some specialized tools for proper setup.
