Dana 30 ring and pinion location

Dana 30 ring and pinion location

Dana 30 ring and pinion location

(OP)
I am building one autocross car to race in the european championship and I want use one dana 30 differential from a Jeep Grand Cherokee (ZJ).
The front suspension is IFS but the original housing from the car is a beam axle, so I need to fabricate the housing to convert it to IFS.
Can anyone help me and give me the location between the ring and the pinion (hypoid gear)on a Dana 30 ZJ axle?

Greetings from Portugal

RE: Dana 30 ring and pinion location


That can be quite a bit of work. And you will also have to modify or (better) replace the differential unit for IRS. Some OEM's are using them in their cars like the aluminum Ford 8.8 below.

   

RE: Dana 30 ring and pinion location

Is that an 11 tooth pinion (ie what axle ratio do you want?). What distance CV to CV do you want?

Cheers

RE: Dana 30 ring and pinion location

(OP)
I need the 4.56 ratio and cv to cv distance is aprox. 250 mm.

The location that I need is the distance from the center of the ring to the center of the pinion in both axles (x and Y), and also the distance from the face that bolts to the carrier and the center of the pinion.

If anyone acan help me I would be very appreciated.

Best regards
