front hub asembily went on my buddys tj last night and its needs to be fixed fast, would the asambily off a xj fix, i know they have different part numbers by calling the dealer but whats the diff??? just the stub shaft splins???? if thats the case we can use a xj stub right???
thanks

Yes it should, I know guys with TJ's that get XJ front shafts for spares

I think the rotors and maybe the calipers are different, but as long as you use the entire XJ setup, you should be just fine.

EDIT: Depending on the year of the XJ the TJ shafts should have beefier Ujoints (297's vs. 260's) but the TJ shafts should slide right onto the XJ hubs.

Watch out for some of the non-TJ hubs. They have a larger OD and the TJ rotors will not fit over them. Now I've used XJ hubs with no problems. But, I've seen people have problems with spares they've gotten from junk yards. They may have been from ZJ's or something, but they are at least 2 different types.

ok thanks, were going to bring the old tj one with us to get the xj one.......... just to make sure....:flipoff2:
once again, thanks for the help

You MUST match rotor to hub, that is all.

I run '98 TJ hubs and rotors on an 84 XJ knuckle with '84 calipers no probs.

TJs have 3 different hub offsets in themselves I can't help with how many variations XJs have had since inception. But TJ != TJ all the time but the rotor hat dept makes it all good again.

As was mentioned WJ hubs are a 5 on 5" lug pattern and will not work for just about every other reason as well.

I'm just glad I finally got a D44 under my TJ, so no more damn unit hubs for me

IIRC, the only thing that's not campatible is the gears.

Prolly 95% true, but depending on the year even those are swappable. Only the earlier XJs got HP30s the newer ones get the same D30s TJs do and they are 100% swap happy.

Either way carriers are still interchangeable assuming they are on the same side of the break.
