Where does this go?
« on: September 04, 2011, 06:49:59 PM »
I was looking through my dwindling stash of Eable parts and I found this bracket and I can't figure out where it goes.  It had a broken plastic bag tied to it which I normally use to keep nuts/screws/etc. with a part.  The label in the plastic bag was still there and it said "Front differential".  There were a number of bolts on the floor underneath the part which I think may have come out of the broken bag.  I looked at the front differential and there's no spare holes in it so I don't see how this thing could bolt to it and something else.   Do you know where this goes?

I assume you mean front axle, so it bolts to the passenger side front axle and then to what?

Bolts to the tranny lower corner and lower axle. Ask for pic. If needed I am being lazy.

I think I can figure that out.  I don't have my hoist so It may be a week or two before I can get a look underneath to see.

Thanks Mudkicker  :)

I'm going to see if there's enough room under the car for me to install it.

Looking at my Eagle and the pic you posted Mudkicker, the bracket is straight where it attaches to the axle. The picture priya posted has bends on both ends. Are there different styles depending on year?

Good point. I still think it is an axle stabilizer thing.
