Chevy/GM 10-bolt and D44 as well as full size Jeep Cherokee and Wagoneers D44's all have the same parts from the knuckle out.


10b and 44 spindles and inner bearings are subtly different. You can bolt the outers from either to either knuckle, but you need to match the bearings to the spindle. I lost a weekend over this one. I would just source the whole set of outers from a single year and not mix and match if possible.

So there is no disk brake system out there that will fit a dana 44, even if its not chevy brake system? from the knuckles out i would assume that any brake system with the right lug and hole count would be okay...The disk brakes that came with the D44 are just beyond repair and i was hoping for an upgrade or just new replacements.


There is. It's called the brakes that are on it, service parts still readily available at most every parts store. I'm no longer sure what you're asking. Did you get a drum brake axle you want to convert to discs? You said they're discs, but also that you "don't know a lot."

Or are you concerned about matching up the hydraulics? Best to do that by cutting off the metric bubble flare at the hard line and redoing it with a SAE double flare to fit the Chevy soft line. There may be a soft line out there that goes metric to SAE, but I don't know where to tell you to get it.
