    Cog Pinion seal lp dana30

    Thanks to everyone who gave me tips in the aw4 swap, we got it in and most everything's fine. My front axle though is questionable. It clunked when turning by hand and was weeping. I picked up a pinion seal and slapped in one there to hopefully stop the leaking until I could properly service the diff.
    But, it wasn't the right one even though it was listed for 2001 Cherokee. The one I got has no lip so it slides into to pumpkin. It's holding alright for now, just a few drips here and there, but now I get vibration pretty bad sometimes when I accelerate in 2wd, don't know if that is related.

    Any tips? Can someone give me a link to the rig pinion seal to order?
    For clarity, jeep in question is 2001 xj, 4.0 aw4 4x4, dana30 front axle.

    This might be a tough one. I looked up your seal on Quadratec and it listed a change at 10/1/00, but no part number. A small mystery since the same seal fits everything else with a D30 after that. I would suggest getting the earlier seal that has the lip you mentioned and seeing how it fits

    Thanks, I think I will just grab one for a 2000 xj and see how it goes. If my pinion style is the same as earlier xjs (not 2001) does that mean I may have a High Pinion front dana 30 under there? just curious.

    If it is high pinion it will be obvious. Just compare it to your rear diff. If it looks about the same, it is low pinion
