well guys after 3 weeks parked it looks like I am going to buy 2 axles... a dana front 30 and rear 35 with a 4:11 ratio each and have them installed. The guy I am buying from is local and will sell me the 2 axles for $750 and put them on for $450 and he is the local axle diff guy everyone told...

I don't know what I am talking about but can I not buy a diff like this: 16505 11 Omix ADA Differential Kit Jeep Wrangler Cherokee 2001 02 Dana 35 3 07 | eBay And have someone put it in? Again, forgive my ignorance. I am learning. Thanks for all your replies and time.

No ability here at all. I removed nothing. That's all the play that was there. The guy I bought it from said he has a Jeep that was in a fire but the tires are still in good shape and he could get the axle for me. He is a small used car dealer. I just hate to replace the axle and have it happen...

Thanks! That was fast.

Brother in law here. Thanks for your replies. I drove 2 miles one way with no previous oil leak or noise. I almost didn't make it the 2 miles back home. Every time I would stop I would hear a loud knocking noise and the Jeep would stop and sometimes kick back in reverse a hair. Only a couple of...
