OK, from the mid 80's waggies are the rear D44 same size as the XJ D44's? I know the bolt pattern on the flange is different, but what about the bolt pattern on the housing for the axle shaft retainer plate? What about the length of axle shafts? Spring perches?
I discovered that my D44 didn't survive the rollover 2 years ago as well as I hoped by finding 2 spun bearings on the axleshafts (one side does look a hair tweaked up). Anyways, I want to do a quick one weekend swap of axles and just move all the guts (locker/gears/new axleshafts/disk brakes) to another D44 and I'm wondering if any of hte waggy ones are compatible. Oh yeah, I'm lazy and don't feel like rewelding spring perches either (I'll do the shock mounts though and a truss): so are the spring perches same?
