Hello everybody! :wave:
I'm having a hard time trying to find out the dimensions of rear axle wheel bearing for my recently bought XJ. Can anyone help me? I have come to to a conclusion that it is Dana 35C axle. Also part number for a correct repair kit would be nice. :D
It all started when I noticed quite big radial play in left side rear wheel causing a klunk in bumps. After disassembling the rear axle I found out that axle has worn to a nice wide groove. The right one is not so bad but has also indication that surface is about go. I got a hint that repair kit RP5707 would be the right one... for the 1-3/8"(34.9mm) axle. I ran to the nearest shop just before closing time and bought two kits. At home I measured the axle shaft to be approx. 35.5mm at bearing surface. :banghead:
Any ideas what try next. These axles do not grow on trees in here north.
