You wont need a new axle unless the housing is significantly damaged. Looks like you just need some new gears and pinion seals/bearings.

Damn ZJ low pinion D30's... let me guess had a weird vibe for some time??? All kidding aside that is fixable, but just not worth it.. Better off pulling a HP 30 from an older xj at the junk yard.. Oh and My D44 for sale is the REAR AXLE! Best of luck man..

A HP D30 looks the same as a low pinion except the Pinion's output shaft is raised above the axle shaft tubes vs below.

High Pinion...Low pinion. straight forward.

D44 pumpkin looks like this:

There is a Pick A Part in Sun Valley. Haven't been there but older model XJ's are more common and usually HP D-30's are easy to come by. However try and stay away from the Disconnect D-30 that came in the RENIX XJs. You can tell by the boxy looking contraption located on the passenger side of the axle housing.

You'll pay anywhere from $150 - $200 for an axle. I pulled 2 axles at Ecology for about 150 each, I'd safely assume PAP would be about the same?

Anyway good luck to you..

Not really, get an 8.25 with 29 splines. Specs are pretty close to a 44. If you really wanted to you could get the 27 and then upgrade the shafts and carrier to go with the 29 spline later or something.
