Default Dana 30 - Dana 44 front similarities

So I am looking at getting a rubicon housing, what parts from my dana 30 will transfer over? I have brand new ball joints, will those work on the 44? what about knuckles? Im assuming the hubs will be different so I will need new hubs as they are different axle shafts.

Thanks

Knuckles out they are the same. You can use the ball joints, hubs, brakes..

I didn't think you could press out ball joints and press them back in another axle

The 32 spline outer shafts are the same on both also.

To clarify, do you have a set of ball joints waiting, or are they already installed? You can't or really shouldn't reuse them.

They may not survive an uninstall then a reinstall... But you never know, If the proper balljoint tools are used.
