Re: [Amc-list] eagle rear end HELP/ADVISE wanted

["Dan Strohl" <DStrohl@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

So if the spring-over Cherokee axle fits the spring-over Eagle setup
(for the most part), does that mean the spring-under Comanche axle fits
the spring-under Spirit/Concord setup (for the most part)?

Then again, in these parts, Comanches are about as rare as Spirits and
Concords.

" Secondly, anyone out there have a 3:08 or 3:54 rear end to sell? I am
" guessing that it is a 3:54 myself, even though there is a A with

" (passenger side) of the pumpkin. 

a cherokee axle should be easy to find near you.  all you need is
someone to rework the shock mounts to match your eagle's axle.

as a bonus, you can put zj rear disks on a '91-up xj d35 or 8.25".

nb. i've recently heard that xj rear springs can swap with eagle wagon
ones...

" Also, is anyone positive that the front differential CAN indeed be
" disconnected should I find a rear end? I don't care if the 81 is 4x4
" or not, as both my 82 and 88 Eagles, driven daily, are 4x4. 2WD on
" the 81 would be fine, as long as I can somehow put it back on the
" road in a reasonable amount of time.

the only nit in this is taking the t/c out of 4wd mode.  if it has a
center diff you won't budge.  if it has the viscous coupling you'll
move but you'll burn it out in short order.
