Axle & Differential Parts for Jeep CJ6
Front Axle, Rear Axle & Driveshaft at a Glance (1955-1975)
Why the Front Axle in the Jeep CJ6 Changed Over the Production Run.
The front axle in the Jeep CJ6 changed twice over the course of production: from 1955 to 1965 it used the Dana 25, from 1966 the slightly sturdier Dana 27 took over, and from 1972 Jeep switched to the wider Dana 30 with ball joints instead of king pins. The Dana 44 rear axle, by contrast, stayed the same throughout the entire 1955–1975 production run, transferring all drive force from the transfer case through the driveshaft to all four wheels. Which front axle is fitted to your CJ6 usually depends on the model year or can be read directly off the axle housing – that's essential, since parts like U-joints, wheel bearings, or ring-and-pinion sets only fit their specific axle.
- Front Axles: Parts for the Dana 25 front axle (55-65), the Dana 27 front axle (66-71), and the Dana 30 front axle (72-75).
- Rear Axle: The complete range for the Dana 44 rear axle, from wheel bearings to U-joints to ring-and-pinion sets.
- Driveshaft: U-joints, propeller shaft yokes, and slip yokes for the driveshaft between transfer case and axles.
