i just bought another xj, its a great rig with many upgrades, including rear disks.

but the PO didnt do them and didnt know what they came from..

how would i go about finding out which setup was used so i can get new pads?

the idiots at auto store said i should just go back to drums cause they had the parts for me to do it

 

What rear end is it ?

 

If it is a Dana 35 or 8.25 the most likely came off a zj

 

Yea I would say the same if its 8.25 they could also be from a liberty
That's what I'm using

 

Take the pads out on one side and take them to a real parts store like Napa.
Skip the frustration of dealing with some pimply faced clerk at the box stores.

 

Yep liberty or ZJ... or crown vic... Unless they got a $1000 kit...

Also make sure... They didnt swap in a whole 8.8...

 

Ya that's what I would do have them compare with zj and liberty pads if that doesn't work try crown Vic and Ford explorer

 

ok. thanks guys for all the input.. id figured zj but idk what they look like so wasnt sure.

yea, its the chryco 8.25. wish i had an 8.8 but no luck..

didnt know it could be liberty or crown vic tho. thanks again.

 

I coulda had the pads out and gone to Napa in the time you've spent posting...Just sayin'.

 

oh ya, i couldve. if i had any time. between 2 kids and work i hardly get time to wrench anymore.

only parts store close to me said they couldnt help unless i knew the make. now i can say its either a GC a lib or a crown vic.

thatll cut the time down from taking them off, borrowing wifes van to go to store, figuring out which of the three pads i need, getting home and getting them on and returning the van.

and the pads are not bad yet. just preemptive knowledge for when the time comes

 

In that case, take them off and trace them on paper. Get them later as needed.

 

google image... then see which ones you have...

 

That's^^ just a politically correct way of doing what I said........

 

Lol... Dont even gotta leave the hizzle!

 

i never thought of that,[ freakin genius..
