Review shared from Motive Gear Dana 30 Differential Pinion Nut (84-93 Jeep Cherokee XJ)
1980 Wrangler - jontheJL
Pinion is secure
I purchased the Motive Gear Dana 30 Differential Pinion Nut for my ‘91 Jeep Cherokee XJ, and it’s been a great fit. The nut is well-made, durable, and the perfect match for my vehicle’s differential. It tightened up easily and holds everything in place securely. Highly recommend it for anyone needing a solid replacement part

Review shared from Motive Gear Dana 44 Ring Gear Bolt (1986 Jeep CJ7)
1980 Wrangler - jontheJL
No leaks from the Dana rear end
Bought enough of these to replace the old crusty bolts after a ring and pinion swap/ light rebuild for longevity, and what else is there to say besides theres no leaks, and the cover is on there evenly and snugly. 5 stars out of five

Perfect
I ordered this for my 2006 LJ to go along with the 513 gears. I had it installed professionally but after 2 months seems to be doing exactly what it should.
