Axle question's
For the X model Jeeps, does anyone know the spline count on the front HP Dana 30 shafts?
Also.... Does anyone know for a fact if the rear Dana 44 in the X model Jeep is the same or different than the rear Dana 44 in the Rubicon?
I know there has been plenty of speculation, but has anyone tore into their axles and noted any differences?
Just wondering...
Thanks

I need to correct some of this info for you:
Axles are not chromo they are SAE1040/1045.
Rubicon axle shafts:
Front Reverse Cut 44 : 30 spline inners and 32 spline outers
Rear 44: 32 spline
X, Shara, Sport axle shafts:
Front Reverse Cut 30: 27 spline inners and 32 spline outers
Rear 44 : 30 spline
Any questions, let me know.
