All,
Any idea if the diff out of a Dana 35 equipped 1999 Wrangler will fit a Dana 35 equipped 2000 Cherokee Sport 4x4? The guy with the Wrangler diff says it as "open" if that matters. I assume all Wranglers are 4x4 & thus the diff should be the same. I can always swap the gears off of the old diff if necessary. Anyway, the rear end in my 2000 Cherokee makes some intermittent noise/vibration while driving. Not all of the time, but often enough to make me second guess a long road trip. I am about to get a re-bearing kit for it (and have an excuse to get a hydraulic press) and located this diff from the Wrangler guy. My Cherokee has had the pax side axle shaft & bearing replaced once, and some metal was noted in the rear end oil during that, so... I'd like to swap the diff when I can.
Any info or suggestions would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks!
