I got an 8.8 rear which was in another XJ and swapped it in (finally) over the last few days. I'll have pics later
So when I bolted it in, the axle is in place but about an inch or so to the passenger side. Even now, sitting on thr ground on it's own weight, it's still off. I'm going to go out and rock the jeep and see if it settles. The pins are in the correct place and the ubolts are in and tight, there were no issues with getting the axle in place at all, but when I stand back and look it's off, noticably. Has anyone had this issue or anything like it? After I rock it a little I'm going to see if there's any resolve, then take it for a test drive around the block and take a few left turns. I'll check back in and update with the whole swap when I get it sorted out.
