ZJ Rear Axle
« on: August 07, 2011, 02:02:37 PM »
Just supposing I were to buy a ZJ 4.0 auto with a suspect back axle :017:

What is it likely to cost me in the worst case scenario :017:

how deeps your wallet? I know people who it has cost them more than they paid for the jeep to get it rebuilt.remember its a weak point on one and if you are going to use it for towing even weaker.

I just been enquiring about one which has " a slight whine coming from the rear end"

Apparently this is not caused by any fault in the axle but by a worn suspension bush which can be replaced for a few quid.

No

I think the seller is private

Probably their friendly tame mechanic who services the vehicle for them, has told them the axle is on the way out, and has recomended a line of speil to help them unload it onto some unsuspecting punter.

£210 in parts from lighthouse

thats friction plates and full bearing set, if it needs more than that would recon best to go for a reconditioned axle at about £500 exchange

 :iagree: if its a jeep you got to add a few zero's to any part to allow the importer to steal his share.
