Thanks for the tips. I don't do Facebook, either, but I'm willing to check it out if need be. I'll come back here to post what Dana Aftermarket...
Ugh. Just...ugh. Is ebay the best place to get second-hand axles? Just for kicks, here's what Dana Aftermarket sent me originally: "Hello,...
I really don't want that expense right now but I realize it might be the last resort...
Here is my differential. I thought of that as slightly offset but I think, comparing the distance of the spring perches (which were moved) it's...
I just am not guaranteed they will reply, so I thought I'd ask the forum. They did reply that one time to tell me where the axle came from when...
Well, it's nearly impossible to source a 70 DJ shaft so I was hoping a 70 CJ shaft would be interchangeable. Thanks!
Thanks for the response, Tim. I just went to look and it's just slightly offset diff, to the left/driver's side. I know the old shaft has a 30...
I had a post on here from a month or so ago about this axle but in that one I misidentified it as a 72. I confirmed with Dana Aftermarket that...
I'll have to check the laws here but it's GEORGIA so it wouldn't surprise me if it's not illegal. Regardless, it currently doesn't have one....

Thanks for all this advice!
So I'm coverting the front to disc brakes so I'm taking the backing plates from the front to put on the back. But I think that look you posted...
Looks like it didn't post. Here's the link. 72 DJ5 axle
[IMG] How's this? How do I get these backing plates off?
Ok I'll get some shortly. Weather here has suddenly turned sour.
Yes they should fit. But it's getting the original rear ones off that's posing a problem. I need a diagram of the DJ5 differential.
I have no idea why someone did this. I mesn, yes, I'm used to weirdness with owning a vehicle made the same year I was born. But this is...wtf?...
Hi Jeff! Yes, my CJ5 is 4 wheel drive, though I've rarely engaged it since I live in the city and my Jeep is for just tooling around, etc. I'm...
Hi, I'm Jen. I have a 74 CJ5. The Dana 44 on it comes from a 72 DJ5. I learned this from Dana after trying to replace the rear drums and the...
