I went to the dealer today and got the prices for everything in the write up including pinion bearings. This should be everything. See below

part #
front
4720895 Pinion nut 13.00
68004072-AA crush seal 26.70
5066047-AA spacer 12.30
4856368 shim kit 34.00
J8126499 pinion bearing 66.20


rear
5191197-AA Pinion nut 1.20
68003265-AA crush seal 33.40
5183525-AA spacer 1.30
4856368 shim kit 34.00
4746979 pinion bearing 67.60

 

Thanks for doing some homework for us. The writeup didn't mention a crush seal. Maybe it's an "iffy" part, just depends on if you damage the old one when removing it. Same w/ the pinion bearings I guess. Those are more $$$ than I was expecting.

Maybe it's worth mentioning, I read once in an article by Bill Vista that he recommends not re-using the ring gear bolts. Anybody else heard of this? I guess he knows his stuff. I'm gonna check on prices for those. If they're reasonable, it's a no-brainer.

So that's roughly $152.20 for the front, and $149.20 for the rear. As always, I was hoping to get off cheaper.

 

The article calls it a crush sleeve dealer called it a crush seal. Dont know about the ring gear bolts?? Why dont the rig and pinion kits come with bolts!!

 

You sure about that? Here are the part #'s for the crush sleeves, as copy/pasted from the write-up:
Front Crush Sleeve (5183525AA) $1
Rear Crush Sleeve (5066047AA) $10

Those are different #'s from the crush seals, as you can see. Could the crush seal be the same thing as a pinion seal?

Not sure about the ring gear bolts either. I'll open the boxes when I get home. Maybe I'll get lucky and they'll be included.

 

I am confused about the crush seals I think the parts guy wrote the wrong name next to the part #'s. I do have those part numbers listed.

 

I ordered the parts today they had half in stock and had to order half. Should be in by Tuesday. I am set up to have them installed Thursday. I will keep you posted....

 

hi guys.
i used to have a tj with 3.07 it wasnt fast on the highway but i was running 33 x12.5 and i realy didnt care ,,i loved the thing..

anyways,, I getting a 4 door jk thats has 3.21 ,,,so i will be installing 33 x11.5 tires,,,

will it realy suck?
i mean compare to what i had in my tj? if its the same its ok like I sed before i didnt care. i guess my question is will it be worth,,? because im guessing not since its 3.21 inted of 3.o7

 

like I have said I have 35's and the 3.21's its not as bad as you think.

 

Any updates?
