My neighbor has a 88 XJ with a Dana rearend. I have a Chrysler 8.25 rearend so I am not familiar with the woes of the Dana. (Except the front 30's) His passenger side axle and tire has since removed itself from the vehicle during some doughnut showboating. He said the shaft is fine and I haven't looked at it yet but, I thought I heard that these rearends are known for c-clip failure. What usually causes this and what should I look for tomorrow when I tear into this thing?
(He also said it was making a grinding noise shortly before he noticed the axle. It maybe the axle and the housing making contact after the clip broke loose but anyway.............)
