Dear all,
I'm new to ZJ (bought yesterday '93 4.0L) today during overall checking I've discovered that the front diff has no ring inside!!
Due the fact the pinion bearing are bad I think to swap in a D30HP from 89XJ; I would like to keep original ZJ axle shaft (donor has no abs) knuckle rotor etc, basically everything a part diff and axle itself.-
Anyone has already try do this?
My donor axles has 3.55 gear, searching seems also my new ZJ has the same gear, anyone confirm?
THX, Marco

thx for the quick answer!
I've the tow package but I don't think it come from factory, tomorrow I remove the dirty&rust to see if I can read the gear ratio.
I know the XJ joint are stronger, but I prefer to keep the ABS due the ZJ is for my wife 4 daily driving, I will add a smal 3-4" lift and no offroad...... for the moment :lol:
Do U think the viscostatic coupluer of the 249 was damaged by the driving without front shaft & and missing differential? Maybe a stupid question but is the first time I see this kinda of TC usually I play with 231-242

well I've check the gear ratio and it matching; so now the question is, in order to use shaft, rotor, hub & brake from the ZJ I've to change also the Knuckles?
If yes anyone know if the studs are compatible?
