    Hey so I have a bent front housing on the front of my 1987 Jeep YJ and I was wondering if anyone has replaced this before and what years of housing will work without having to do too much more to get it to work. Probably looking to just replace the whole front end if it’s easier. Any information will be helpful thanks!

    Your only option that doesn't require modification will be from an 87-95 Wrangler.
    The early axles, around 91 and prior had a vacuum diaphragm called the Central Axle Disconnect that was known to fail typically due to rotted vacuum lines. There are fixes for this in case this is the only axle you can find.
