Thanks joe! I will get it replaced.

99 XJ limited 166K Everything seems to run fine, but when i was checking things for a tune up, i noticed that the shaft has a fair amount of side to side movement, but since it only has a sensor didnt know if this mattered. Or is the standard little to none for movement regardless and in that...

what is the address of aedofab?Thanks

Cool, I had talked to Mike a few months back at aedofab, but couldn't get a hold of him recently so thanks for the info, I will try again. We had talked about him doing lockers front and rear, axles with new tom wood rear drive shaft etc. probably needs all the u-joints done and maybe the upper/...

I am need of near rear end gears, lockers and axles for a 99 XJ etc, does anyone know of a solid local shop around the area of naperville, IL that can do the work? I tried aedofab, but they never answer their phone and I am unable to reach anyone. Thank you

Thanks I will give them a call.

Also do they make a hardened diff cover bolt that would be worth changing to going forward so that i might avoid breaking any others? Thank you

How do i figure out what other years match my current rear end since it has abs etc. its a 99 XJ limited. I thought it had trac loc, but that doesnt seem to be the case in that when i spend one wheel the other wheel goes the opposite direction. Thanks for all the info.

Can anyone recommend a good differential re builder in and around Naperville, il. I know the D35 is hated but this is a stock 99 XJ limited that only sees the street. Thank you.

Not that i can tell, to make matters worse I broke off the very top bolt so how. I was being very careful not to get crazed with the wrench and then Snap o! So I put a healthy layer of rt f and bolted it back up as I can not afford to be with out it right now and it seems to work just fine with...

I have a 99 stock XJ limited that is strictly street driven and have no plans to change that since its the wife's. The vehicle has a D35 with spider gears that are starting to pit, which is starting to make noise and was found today when I changed the fluid and saw nice glittery bits of metal in...

Thanks for the responses, I decided to try heyhar's advice since the spyder gears are pitted and it wont be long before i pull it. So I layed on the right stuff RTF and bolted it back up and then took a few blasts up and down the freeway with no leaks! The jeep is stock and only stays on the...

dumb question, but since it is at the very top, do you think it would leak if I bolted it all back together using right stuff rtv

This is on a 99 jeep and can this be done without dropping the fule tank? I was thinking a right angle drill, but wasnt sure.

I was changing the rear end fluid on a d35 and snapped the very top bolt of the diff cover. there isnt enough sticking out to grab it. I've read before not to use a easy out, so what is the best thing to do now? do I grind down what is left and drill it bigger and then use a heli-coil or what...
