Progress working in a rear axle.
I wanted rear discs and a higher ratio of 3.73 is ok with the new overdrive trans anyway.
This axle out of a 99 to 04 Jeep Grand Cherokee uses the same 5 on 5 bolt pattern as Packard. However it was a coil spring rear axle so I had to grind off all the mounts. Removing paint and rebuilding it now. The pig is cast aluminium so I am thinking I will polish that. Here are some pics.
Merry Christmas
