Non disco Dana 30

[Destroyer]

My buddy has a yj with the disco front axle and keeps having problems with it so he wants to get away from it.
The jeep only has 31s and sees only a few trail rides a year so there is no need to upgrade the axle.
If the axle is cheap enough he would rather switch it out then keep messing with the vacuum lines.
Let me know what you have. Thanks

Vacuum disconnect does suck.. he could just add a couple of seals and put in a non disco axle in there (pretty sure the guys at alljeep can hook you up with the correct seals)... You can also just pull apart the vacuum disconnect actuator and shim it with washers in the non disconnect mode, slip the doohicky that connects the shafts and then it is almost like a non disconnect axle for the cost of some rtv to seal the actuator and some washers. -- just thinking for a guy on 31's that doesn't use his junk very often these may be viable solutions.

^This^ just shim the disco to always on.

I have a one piece long side shaft for sale also if he wants to go that route. PM me

I'll see if he want to shim it. Thanks.

We shimmed it. Working good so far.
