Re: FW: Jeep 4.0 in an American?

Just for your reference Mark, that front axle mounts EXACTLY like a 4x4 front axle. Same arms, spring locations, etc. It even uses 4x4 axle steering knuckles and bearings on the ends! AMC just used a single piece of axle tube between the 4x4 ends to come up with the 2WD XJ/MJ. Pretty good thinking! I don't think there's a special part in there, though the hubs, bearings, and/or stub axles on the ends might be different than 4x4, not 100% sure.
