Hey Big David,
I have an 87 Cherokee with a factory Dana 44 rear and I am wondering if the bearing retainer plate for the ZJ's dana 44a axle is the same as the Cherokee dana 44 axle bearing retainer plate so if I ordered your ZJ Disc break conversion kit would I need to re-drill the holes for backing plates/bearing retainer to match or are they more of a bolt on affair?

Thank you
Mike

 

Hey, wondering if there are any updates on kits? Need one for my 00 XJ with Chrysler 8.25

 

No updates. Still need to find time to get to the yard. Work is not cooperating.

As far as the Dana 44a question. The Dana 44a & Dana 35 are pretty much the same crappy, C clip axle & designed almost identical. No bearing retainer plates on the 44a.

 

both of my Cherokee XJ's 87's and both have the non c-clip dana 44 that is why I was asking about the retainer plate. but if the Dana 44a is a c-clip then that answers my Question... so if I am correct I will still have to modify the bearing retainer plate.
thanks for the info.
Mike

 

Yes, you will need to modify your plates or get Rubicon 44 plates.

 

Will buy a set when you get in stock 100% sure, 98 xj 8.25

Thanks

 

I'll take a set for a Chrysler 8.25.

 

I have 2 complete kits @$225 each & one kit minus wheel studs for $200. Ten longer studs I've found online for $17 shipped to you.
First 3 to PM me gets them. I'll give you my PayPal info then.

 

The backing plates & calipers are off of a Liberty. They are bolt on for the c clip Dana 35 or Chrysler 8.25 without any modifications to the plates.

Happy Easter.

 

PM SENT!

 

David,

Sent a PM this afternoon. I'll take a complete kit.

Thanks,

 

I have one kit left WITH lug studs (I found 12 in a box). Also comes with a driver's side e brake cable. $225 shipped

 

I'll take that kit for my xj

 

All are spoken for. I will post up more when I get them.

 

I'm interested when you get more. Thanks.
