D44a from 96-98 ZJs

(1/3) > >>

Ben H.:
I'm looking for a rear axle from a 1996 to 1998 ZJ with the V8. It will be the D44a or the D44HD, just depends on who you ask. It should have the 3.73 gears. Prefered would be an open differential. If you have one or know of someone parting out a ZJ, let me or them know.

kd4yor:
I believe those were aluminum center sections, correct?

Ben H.:
Yes. That is what the "a" stands for.

kd4yor:
that should be the one. From what I'm told a TJ 44 will also bolt up.

Ben H.:
I would need adjustable control arms to get the pinion angle correct. I would also have to add modify the spring mounts. I would have to move the track bar mount as well. I'm not sure about the shock mounts. Plus, TJ D44s are very expensive.

The ZJ D44a is a direct bolt in, cheaper, gives me rear disks, and except for the aluminum center section, is stronger then a TJ D44. Thicker ring gear, D60 pinion, and 30 spline shafts.
