Axle ID - its a ZJ

saki669 · Jan 20, 2011

My neighbor picked up a 94 ZJ 4x4 6cyl w/ABS for $1,000. The rear diff is leaking out of the pinion seal.
Question: Does the D35 have the rubber fill plug like the 8.25, or is it threaded like the D30?
This axle has a round cover and has a rubber plug.

Thanks.

My I6 has a rubber plug in the D35 the 30 is threaded

didnt ZJs only come with D35s and an aluminum D44?

Yes

Thanks guys.
The confusion stems from my 2000XJ parts guide. It shows the D35 having a screw plug in it.

Does anyone have a part number for the D35 pinion seal? The guys at Checker kept trying to sell me the side seals. They had to order the parts so I had nothing to compare over the counter.

Yea, in 2000 that's what they had, but like was mentioned, switched over to the rubber at some point.

It's a D35.

I'll take that V8 power, though.

Old information. They dropped the steel plug somewhere in the early 90s (Maybe the 1991 year?) in favor of the stupid rubber plug.
