One more Dana 30 thread

[snowblur17]

Soooo I bought calipers for my 1987 Dana 30 about a year ago.... had to make them work (they fit but the knuckles did not like them much) NOW I have in my possession a new to me Dana 30 out of a 97XJ....or maybe it was a 98, idk, whatever!? Do I have to buy new calipers and brake pads for the new Dana 30 or will the ones that I have off the 1987 Dana fit? (The calipers and pads are in good shape still). I'm gonna throw a hail marry on the Hubs/Ujoints and hope they at least last me a few months

for some reason i'm gonna say they won't fit, i think it has something to do with they way the mount... if i'm wrong someone say something

autozone sells timken hubs with a lifetime warranty for $100 or so buy two of them and just warranty them as needed it will be cheaper in the end

didn't know this! for now the bearings seem to be ok. But I will def get timken's with a life time warranty for my next set..... you can't really that especially with how often i seem to be going through them.
