Title: axle question
Post by: lwbcj6 on August 06, 2012, 01:34:39 PM

Could anyone identify this front axle from my 1974 cj6 on this year i thought it would be a dana 30 but this one looks similar to the  dana 44 on the rear axle?

Looks like standard 30/44 combo to me

Thank you very much indeed

The front axle has a rubber tube coming from the top of the axle with a valve on the end would this mean that an air locker has been installed or was the tube a standard fitment in case you wanted to fit one?
