alright i believe i am going to have problems with my axle build/swap and i have found information regarding unit bearing and knuckle revisions threw out the years but need someone who actually knows what they are talking about to help me out
my truck
-88 cherokee with a 94 motor, ax15, 231
-currently has a LP30 out of a 00 or 01 cherokee
the goal
-HP30
-4.88's
-lunchbox locker
-LCA skids
the plan i jumped in to
-bought a vac disco hp30 out of a 86 v6 5speed with 4.10's
-stripped it painted it
-brand new balljoints installed
--planned on vacuum disco block off kit
--already have 4.88's ready to install
the problem im looking at is this, will my LP30 unit bearings and axleshafts that are in my jeep currently, bolt right into my 86 knuckles? i read something about different revisions of unit bearings and knuckles. i do not have the 86 axleshafts or unit bearings, i know the axleshafts should fit but im really just worried about the unit bearings. and if they will not will my LP30 knuckles bolt up to my 86 housing and balljoints just fine? then allowing me to use the LP30 unit bearings?
i also have a complete 94 non vac housing (which i would like to use the 94 unit bearings with the 86 housing the most because they are new) if the 86 housing will be to complicated to make work i will just use the 94 housing but i already installed new balljoints in the 86 vacdisco housing haha.
tried to explain that with the least amount of confusion possible!
thanks for any help ::
