So I wrecked my jeep (99 jeep cherokee 4wd) and I have a 02 jeep Cherokee front 2wd axle laying around and I was wanting to know if an 2wd axle will mount up to it. And if it could would an 02 axle fit?? Thanks

I'm assuming the 02 is a grand cherokee because the cherokee stopped production in 2001.

Yes it's a grand cherokee. Do u think it will fit?

xjmarc

Nope. The WJ has a different mounting layout as well as a different bolt pattern.

What year model xjs axle will fit on my 99 xj?

91-01.

mr white

00-01 (or is it 99-01) are low pinion though.

Try 91-01.
A hp axle will bolt right in.

mr white

wat.

Front Axle
1984–1996: Dana 30, High Pinion, Reverse Cut, 27-spline axleshafts (1989 – 1995 : with ABS used 5-297x universal joints, non-ABS had 5-260x universal joints. Certain XJ models were produced with constant-velocity joints instead of universal joints.)
1996–1999: Dana 30, High Pinion, Reverse Cut, 297x/760 universal joint, 27-spline axleshafts.
2000–2001: Dana 30, Low Pinion, Standard Cut, 297x/760 universal joint, 27-spline axleshafts.

Most avoid the 84-90 due to the CAD. I'd look for a 96-99 because of the bigger joints and because it's high pinion. I know when I swapped to HP on my ZJ I had a lift on it otherwise the drive shaft wouldn't have cleared but I don't think that's an issue with the 00-01 XJs since they are basically the same as the 97-99 models.

Spell it out... It's WHAT!!! Not wat.
And so what's your point of copy and pasting from google? Op asked what will bolt in so I told him.

mr white

And I told him 00-01 is low pinion.

And technically that was from wiki.

Technically any xj axle will bolt in. Yes most people avoid the CAD system but its really not hard to just shim the fork on the older axles(not a strong but doable). 96-99 are the best though if you have a chance to be picky.
