rear

In automotive design, an RR, or rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout places both the engine and drive wheels at the rear of the vehicle. In contrast to the RMR layout, the center of mass of the engine is between the rear axle and the rear bumper. Although very common in transit buses and coaches due to the elimination of the drive shaft with low-floor buses, this layout has become increasingly rare in passenger cars.

    Diff Rear Differential Cover Screws

    My CJ7 has an AMC/Jeep Trac-Lok rear differential. I'm hoping to hear from someone who has been successful in removing the cover bolts on a similar diff. After several weeks of dealing with and finally loosening 10 of the 12 Torx bolts, two (upper) bolts remain. Each one is now stripped so...

    Misc Has anyone shortened their rear driveshaft, and how much shorter is working for you?

    I want to use a longer trans and xfer case combo. I really like taking advantage of my CJ7's great turning radius, so I prefer not to stretch the wheelbase any more than I would have to. I'm guessing some of you have done similar mods. I'm wondering how much shorter the rear driveshaft could...

The shock I've chosen is the Rancho...

    Diff AMC 20 gasket

    I ordered a felpro gasket for the rear diff (AMC20) and I noticed that it not only doesn't have holes, it isn't large enough to even go over the holes- is that the way it should be? Like this- the orange being the gasket. Should I send it back and just use RTV?

    Brakes 10 or 11

    I have a 78 CJ7. I have read that if the front calipers have 2 bolts, you have 10" rear brakes. My calipers have 1 bolt per caliper. Are these factory?
