- 1984 CJ7 with a 1993 4.0 Inline 6; T5 transmission; Dana 300 transfer case (4:1); Dana 44's with ARB lockers
Pulling my hair out:
1984 CJ7 .
1993 Fuel injected 4.0.
1987 Jeep Cherokee/Waggy Dana 44 rear axle.
Older custom axle shafts (unknown manufacturer).
‘86-‘90 Lincoln Mark VII rear calipers.
Ford 9” rotors (older disc brake conversion).
Dr. Frankenstein is dead so he’s not available for clarification.
Calipers sent out for rebuild. Found out the left caliper built-in ebrake has right ebrake internals so works the opposite of what it was intended.
New custom axle shafts ordered.
The only bright spot is I stumbled onto a web sight that had the unicorn rotors available.
The world’s most convoluted brake job. Began with a squealing brake tab that lead to a seized caliper that lead to a leaking axle seal that lead to a twisted shaft. Countless hours on the Interwebs, Google, Facebook groups, Jeep forums chasing parts and my tail. I can see light at the end of the tunnel. I’m praying it’s not a train . . . Attached are pictures of the axle flange and stamping. Anyone have an idea who made them? Thanks.
