Just got a 94 XJ Sport. Its stock. For now. I assumed its read axle is a Corp 8.25 but thought I'd better ask. Is there a web page somewhere that'll help ID it?

Dana 35's are oval shaped, have a plastic plug, and often have 35C on the casting. 8.25's have a flat area on the bottom closest to the ground.
-Note on Dana 35 axles sometimes referred to as Dana 35C - The "C" does not stand for c-clip. It stands for "custom" meaning it came from Dana unfinished.
-Note on 8.25 axles - none of these axles were used on XJs with ABS brakes. If you have ABS, you have the Dana 35. Without ABS you could have either axle. 8.25 axles are c-clip.
Dana 35 non c-clip - 27 spline, 1.18" diameter shafts, 7.58" ring gear, 2.62" axle tube - used 1984-89
Dana 35 c-clip - 27 spline, 1.18" diameter shafts, 7.58" ring gear, 2.62" axle tube - used 1990-01

Chrysler 8.25 - 29 spline, 1.21" diameter shafts, 8.25" ring gear, 3" axle tube - used 1997-01. No ABS.
