Rear axle Wj vs Zj

Wj I believe was a 3 link of sorts while zj had 4 control arms... only diff I know of tho iirc.
 
No dice. Wrong lug pattern, different suspension, and I think the WJ axle is wider.
 
Shit, I didn't realize they were THAT different.

What's the lug pattern out of curiosity? That one really caught me off guard and I find it difficult to believe they would change lug pattern. Makes no sense as to why.
 
5xt. Same as JK
 
They stopped making real jeeps after 98 only exceptions are ya wranglers and 00-01 xj... imo
 
Sorry no dice as was all mentioned above
 
The Wj is the model where junkyard swaps stop making sense budget and engineering wise. It gets even worse when you get to the WK and forget about it with the WK2.

the ZJ was the last of the cherokees with backward compatible parts.

i believe you can swap in some steering and brake parts from a WK to an XJ but theres no point going the other way around.

Even the 4.0 engine block on the wj is different than that of the XJs. so picking up a WJ with a blown motor thinking youd have a plethora of motors to choose from, youd be sorely mistaken.

swapping axles into the WJ is a nightmare as the speed sensors are on the axle. to do an axle swap, you need to also swap out to a transfer case with the speed sensor onthe output and reprogram the computer or you will have engine management trouble.
