Hello, my name is steve.
I am swapping out the front axle on an 88 XJ for the
axle on an 89 XJ. They are both dana 30, but the 89
looks different. It does not have the electrical and
vacume connections on the right hand side of the axle
like the 88 does. I am guessing the these connections
are what locks the front into 4x4. Since the 89 is
also 4X4, yet doesn't have the vacume attachment, how
does that axle lock, and does it provide the same 4X4
performance as the 88?
Thanks
Steve
