Rear Axle Restoration and Rebuild (Chrysler 8.25)
Rear Axle Restoration and Rebuild (Chrysler 8.25)
In b4 someone tells me I should have installed a locker instead of putting the stock spider gear open differential back in.

I’ve been restoring this old Jeep Cherokee for a few years now and started working on the underbody a few months ago. I figured I might as well get two birds stoned at once and make a video out of restoring / rebuilding the Chrysler 8.25 rear axle. I’m pretty happy with how the rear end turned out considering how rusty it was before I started this restoration.
I’m sure I’ll be able make at least a couple videos of restoring things in the front end of the Jeep in the near future if you guys are interested. Let me know what you think about these types of automotive restoration videos. I think they are good as long as they follow a structured restoration type video with a satisfying start to finish.
Stick around until the end for some straight-piped straight-six engine ASMR!
