Anyone know the part number for the bearing retainer plates for a rear Dana 44 with drum brakes? I can find the part number for the TJ retainers but not the XJ retainers. I thought I had it in my Jeep notes but I cannot find it. Been searching all week and cannot locate the part number.
 
If you have drum brakes on the D44 there is no bearing retainer plate, the Drum Brake Backing plate holds the bearing in and is the brake mounting point.

If you are doing an XJ D44 disk brake install, you use the TJ bearing retainer plates. P/N 5083678AA
 
Well my D44 from an 87 XJ has retainer plates #83504190... this may be an old number.And you need 2 ,they will fit either side.
 
Yeah,Ive never seen a XJ D44 that didn't have bearing retainer plates!

I assure you that the drum brake versions have retainer plates. Otherwise, what would hold the shaft into the housing?

Well, the brake backing plate would,but it would be about 1/4" away from the seal and bearing.
 
My bad, I couldn't find the Parts List I was looking for and it's been a while since I had the shafts out of the D44. I forgot about that retainer. Here is all the stuff on the D44 axle shaft.
