pharmvet 02-20-2006, 06:02 PM I believe that the Cj's in general have a more narrow axle width than the later jeep models, but it seems Ive read about "narrow track" in reference to the CJ's as well. Whats the deal here? Were there certain year models that had a more narrow axle width than others? Also, if anyone knows, what were those dimensions (narrow track and regular ) . thanks Lmpymilk 02-20-2006, 07:32 PM Front (http://www.off-road.com/jeep/tech/axle/d30.html) AND Rear (http://www.off-road.com/jeep/tech/axle/amc20.html) pharmvet 02-20-2006, 07:55 PM Limpymilk, thanks, Looks like the narrow track wheel to wheel is--front (53 inches) rear (50.5 inches) and the wide track wheel to wheel is --front (56 inches) rear (54.6 inches) spring pads are 28 inches front on both narrow and wide and 36 inches rear on both narrow and wide. Is it common that the wheel to wheel distance is wider in the front axle than the rear? If so, why is this? steering??? easier to follow than lead?? please explain pharmvet 02-20-2006, 07:58 PM Limpymilk, thanks. seems that the narrow track is 53 inches front and 50.5 rear and the wide track is 56 inches front and 54.5 rear. In both cases the front wheel to wheel distance is greater than the rear. Is this common. If so why. please explain. thanks pharmvet 02-20-2006, 07:58 PM Limpymilk, thanks. seems that the narrow track is 53 inches front and 50.5 rear and the wide track is 56 inches front and 54.5 rear.

Jeep XJs, YJ's and TJ's are all 60.5" front and rear. | |
