Jeep Grand Cherokee rear axle ID

[Toad]

I am working on my buddies 1996 grand. Rear axle has aluminum centersection. So I assume that is that odd ball dana 44a. I am trying to find wheel bearings for this axle. Everything I can find is for the normal flanged axles with a press on bearing and retainer ring. This axle is c- clip. So do the parts stores just have this listed wrong? If so were do I get parts? I went on to Randys R and P website and they did not even mention this axle.

Call Eric at the Six States shop in SLC, he knows this bastard child of an axle fairly well and can give you part numbers, 801-488-4677.
