noisy rear diff
« on: June 07, 2010, 04:04:48 PM »
ok, to buisiness, i have a 97 4.0l grand with a noicy rear diff, thinking of whats best to do?
1. buy all 6 bearings and replace the lot
2. try and get hold of an allready done axle and just swap over
3. is there a better axle to put on,like an explorer 8.8 as 35s are renown for this any way,
so your thoughts or what parts and where to get them
cheers all

well with in reason cash is not a problem, im not going to throw it away though, was thinking of buying the complete 6 bearing package for the diff, 2xcarriers/2xwheel/2x pinions, then at least i know its all done, if i just replace all the bearings, i dont have to do any re alignment with the pinion gear do i? its a straight swap for them all, replace and go?

Being permanent 4x4 would the stronger Ford diffs put too much stress on the D30 at the front?

not sure, it seems a quite normal upgrade for the rear end, be interested to know, i have also found another jeep cherokee rear axle with warranty 1991-2001 355 ratio,
are these the same as the grands "97" tell ya these diff probs are a real pain.
we must all love our jeeps eh? or are we all mad and should be committed lol

Just get V8 Bubba to rebuild yours. It'll probably work out a lot less than you might think and the job will be done right!
