How to tell what Axle I have

XJiggy · Nov 13, 2006

I have a 1998 Jeep cherokee.

My front axle is defiently a dana and has 30-7AF stamped on it so I assume that it is a dana 30.

My rear axle has no dana markings on it but it does have the crysler stamp on it.
I dont know if the axle was replaced at any time so i guess it is possible that I have the crysler rear axle.

How would I be shure?

Its a crysler 8.25

Many cherokees had them
Its much stronger than the dana 35 that also comes in the Cherokees

alright. thanks. and is my front axle indeed a dana 30 or is it a 35?

the stamp is 30-7AF

you're front is a 30, the 30 is the only axle they ever put in the front, the 35 is only in the back

compare your axle to that above. if you have ABS, its ALWAYS a D35. if not then a 8.25

on the t case, there will be a round tag on the cover. it is usualy covered in grease and dirt so you may have to look for it a little. it will somewhere say 231J or 242J.

or you could look at your 4wd shifter. if it reads from top to bottom- 2Hi, 4Hi, N, 4Lo, then its the 231 TC.
