I just got my 4.56s installed today but the overhaul kit for the rear dana 44 was wrong.
Note: I'll call quadratec tomorrow but thought I would get your opinions before I call.
what I ordered was:
Ring & Pinion Overhaul Kit for 07-09 Jeep® Wrangler & Wrangler Unlimited JK with Dana Model 44 Rear Axle
Item Number: 52419.708
on my packing slip it says:
52419 708 ring and pinion overhaul kit Rear JK rubi 35-2052
since the item number is the same I assumed that my dana 44 is the same as a rubi dana 44. However, the new bearings were too big and the pinion seal didn't fit either.
Fortunately the shop had the correct bearings in stock but they had to reuse the old pinion seal because they couldn't get one in time. He suggested I replace it as soon as I can.
So did I buy the wrong part or did quadratec give me the wrong one

You need to update your signature.

well I just called Quadratec. They are going to refund me the full amount even though I used the pinion bolt, pinion bearings and crush sleave. They also gave me $20 to ship the parts back.
