Dana 30 hub conversion

itbrokeagain · 01-13-2010, 12:39 AM

Can I take Cj outer knuckles and do a hub conversion on my Xj and then put the bolt pattern adapter spacers on the back to make it all work?

no,, the ball joint in a CJ go in the outter knuckles and the XJ are pressed into the inner knuckles.

But I did see were someone is makeing knuckles for the XJ(and other jeeps that use that knuckles) that use all the older hub parts

Should have just got a CJ, they last forever.
