dana 30a collar

[jeeptorino68]

does anyone make these any more? is there any point to it? from what i found looks like the housing can still crack, but the collar keeps the case together for a short time....

what is the consensus? who was making these "back in the day"

yellocoyote had a couple of posts detailing collars

She is far from a he.

I don't have the pictures hosted online anymore. I can dig through my archives if needed.

No, they don't prevent diff breakages... ask me how I know. :disgust:
But it did hold the whole stinking mess together so I could get the KJ off the trail to be picked up by AAA. I think it would have been in pieces otherwise.

Here's a photo showing the diff collar post-breakage...

thanks!
do you still run them on your front diff?

 

[yellocoyote]

No, I run the JBA steel front diff now. It didn't fit that, so I ended up giving the collar to one of my other local KJ owners.
