They are indeed narrow track axles. I have 2 sets of complete axles being one from the V8 Jeep and the other from mine. I'm gonna get into it this week and try and figure it out.

Its honestly not that crucial to the topic is it? I mean for sake of argument fine you are correct BUT I was simply trying to separate the terms because of the 2 piece AXLE shafts. I mean do you want to name all the parts of the rear differential housing that I didn't list as well?

Yea the term is interchangeable. When I call for parts and ask for brakes for my rear axle they always say "you mean rear diff?" so I wanted to differentiate it from the actual 2 piece axle shafts that I mentioned could be bent. And let everyone know I mean I swapped out the whole rear differential housing not just the axle shafts.

I swapped out the differentials in my '81 CJ-7. They were original and my Jeep has the 258 motor. The differentials I put in were from a CJ-7 with a 304. What is the possibility they are the same ratio? I ask this because I'm trying to finish this project and after getting the drivetrain all lubed up and put together I drove it around the block only to find the rear wheels wobbling badly. So I figure possibly bent axles I'm thinking maybe I'll just swap the old rear differential back in. If its possible I'll just jack the Jeep up and count the rotations to get the ratio. Thanks.
Also I only swapped out the differentials because the parts Jeep had 4 inch lift springs so it was easiest to just roll the whole assembly under and bolt it up.

Must have the wrong shifter knob. Mine is definitely the SR4. Ford stamp was dead giveaway and aluminum housing. So is that a crap trans? Oh and I finished cleaning and filling all parts up with gear oil. Getting much closer to finally finishing this project.

They only put the puegot ba-10 in the 87-90 yj. If you have a 5 speed in a cj then its a t5. Both take gl5. btw the nv 4500, 5600, ax15, ax5, zf trans in fords and the newer g56 in dodges all take gl5. Most of the newer trans require a synthetic syncromesh because the higher sulpher in regular gl5 eats syncros.Must be that I'm working on primarily foreign stuff. All Honda manuals I've come across take regular ATF or regular motor oil apparently. Do you really think I have a T5? What marks would tell me what it is? I have the one I blew the reverse gear out of still in my garage. I wonder what tcase I have. I'm so used to Cherokee and Grand Cherokee stuff that CJ designations are a mystery to me.

No worries about cold weather. This will only see spring and summer driving. I would have guessed gear oil in all parts since its an older vehicle, but from personal experience as a mechanic I've actually only ever seen newer manual transmissions use ATF. My trans in this is Peugeot I believe. The one no one wants. So if 80w-90 makes it live long then gear oil it is.

Trying to finish up the project CJ-7 and need to know what fluids to use in both axles, the transmissions, and transfercase. The axles are standard, the trans is a 5 speed T-5 I believe, and the tcase has 2wheel, 4wheel hi, and 4wheel low. My Mitchells says 80w-90 front and rear axles and Dexron in the trans. That seemed odd to me so I wanna check with you guys.

I'm definitely getting them. Probably order them next month. I'll post pics when I get them on.

Anyone get a set of these yet? I'm looking to see how easy they can be to install.

If I was to get the WK2 I wouldn't be planning on wheeling it. My preferred wheeler is a WJ. I think it has the best drivetrain from Jeep with solid axles front and rear, no c-clip axles in the rear, wider axles, stiffer unibody, still had the manual shift transfercase, and still had the 4.0L. So the diesel jeep would just be a daily driver.

According Wiki it was only started in the WK in the US for Grand Cherokees. I hate the WK though. Compared to my WJ I think my dad's WK feels like a tunnel. The windows just seem smaller. Also more partial to the rounded body. I was looking into the new WK2 version but that's $47,000 well equipped. Perhaps I'll wait for them to come through the Auto Insurance sales and I'll pick one up cheap with a reconstruct title. Worked out well for my 1999 Grand.

I was curious if anyone owned a Diesel Grand Cherokee on here. I saw one the other day clearly marked with a CRD badge. I'd be interested in one if they were available in North America for the WJ model. I know they were available for the WK model and WK2 model. They also came in the Liberty as a 2.8 diesel.
-
Personally these are some of my favorite wheels Jeep ever made besides the 5 spoke 17" JK rims I have on my WJ. Full set of these in good shape (that's dirt on them in the picture) with center caps. Looking for $200.
-
Yea I undid the 4 flange bolts and tried to us a prybar on the carrier to pop it loose but no luck. Have to try again.
-
I had to put a new rear axle in my WJ the other day and when I popped the diff cover the spider gears in my replacement axle are not in the best shape. So I figured I'd remove them. But I only remember the C-clip style. I tried unbolting the outer bearing but it wouldn't budge. How the hell do these shafts come out?
-
Hey man I wanted to give you a heads up. I had a similar one for sale around the same price with no takers for months. It had a truss welded on for a Jeep as well. Anyway, some dude from Carolina came up after finding it from my Delaware Craigslist ad and paid me $900 for it. He told me they are in high demand down there. Try posting it on a Craigslist in a southern state. Bet you'd get some hits quick.
