This may be a silly question, but then again maybe not. Here it is:
Given that XJs come with both D35 and C8.25 rear axles during a period of several overlapping years, how do you ensure when you buy brake parts in an auto parts store that you are getting the parts you need? If you tell the parts guy the year of your XJ and the displacement and number of cylinders, you could just as easily get D35 parts as C8.25 parts, right? I would not expect the guy behind the counter to know the difference.
This is not an entirely academic question. I'm on my way to Pep Boys having just swapped a D30 for a C8.25 and want to be sure I get the right parts.
