Maybe someone else can find a set of spider gears for my Liberty?

[DonFitzwater]

I've searched Randy's ring and pinion and Yukon Gear as well as every other chinese junk store on the internet.............I'm looking for a complete set of spider gears for the rear end on my Liberty CRD. The originals are missing teeth and need replacing. I can find open diff spider sets only for the Chrysler 8.25" rear end. Anyone have an idea where I could find them for a limited slip as this is what my Liberty has?

Currently the only option I've been able to find is the Eaton Trutrac carrier replacement and will go that route if necessary.

My VIN is 1J4GL48565W636174

I remember little of Liberty 4WD except an exhaust downpipe going under a driveshaft but maybe these guys have an idea?

Boy Don, this IS a challenge. The best I could find was a "Universal" application from Morris 4x4...https://www.morris4x4center.com/mot...rac-lok-28-spline-rear-ford-9-midf9ip28h.html

Best I can say is go with the TrueTrac.
If they broke once they might do again.

Do it once do it right.

I fully agree with that statement, however, I'm not a fan of the torsen diffs. I much prefer the true limited slip and have much better performance from them. The little rig has 150k miles on it and if I can find another spider set I'm sure it will go another 150. If I can't find the spiders, I'll go the Eaton route.

Yep, Ford 9" on that one though........I'm pulling my hair out.

If you are open to finding a used rear axle and then pulling the gesrs yourself, then you could use car-parts.com and scroll through their drop down menus to find one either close to you or in very good conditon or use thie other search criteria.

They are a wrecking yard/rebuild supplier aggregator with a very good interface--

Of course you still have to inspect and confirm part quality

The bad part is that I live in Alaska so I'm not really into using used parts.......seems like nearly every time I've gone that route it's bit me in the arse.

You have the D35 axle in it?
What year?

 

[BigPapa]

This what you need?

No matter found you have the corporate axle.

Negative, that is an open differential from what I can tell.

It's fitted with an 8.25 Chrysler. I've made up my mind, going with the Eaton Trutrac. It's only 100.00 US more than a standard limited slip with clutches and since I'll likely be keeping this little turd for a while I might as well make it as maintenance friendly as possible. Will be ordering that tonight along with a bearing kit.

 

[Ozymandias]

Good decision, you'll love it.

 

[DonFitzwater]

Ordered! Got the carrier from sasquatchparts.com and a bearing and seal kit from Amazon......now to get the turd cleaned up.
