Zj disc brake conversion
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

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.

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.
