Key features

  • Rear driver side shaft
  • Dana 35 axle type
  • 27 splines

Choosing the right setup

On a Wrangler JK the rear axle shaft transfers power from the differential to the rear wheel, and the Dana 35 is the rear axle used across these models. Because the shafts on each side share the same load, many owners replace both at once when one fails, especially if the replacement is a rebuilt or aftermarket unit whose wear pattern differs from the stock shaft.

Before buying, confirm the axle type, spline count and side match the vehicle. A rear shaft job is also a good point to inspect the carrier bearing, pinion seal and wheel bearings, since any of those can leak or fail once the axle is opened. Check the lubricant level as part of the job.

Keep the new shaft’s boots and seals free of debris during installation, and recheck fasteners after the first drive on rough terrain.

  • Check the rear differential fluid level
  • Inspect the axle seal for leaks
  • Inspect wheel bearings for play

Questions & Answers

Does the Crown 68003533AA fit a 2012 Jeep Wrangler JK?

Yes. It fits 2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler (JK) 2-door and 4-door models, which covers 2012. Confirm your trim before ordering, since fit depends on the specific trim.

Which side is this shaft?

Rear driver side. It is the rear left unit for the Dana 35 axle, with 27 splines. Compare the spline count with the shaft being replaced before fitting, since the Dana 35 axle type must match as well.

How many splines does it have?

It has 27 splines. Compare the count with the shaft being replaced before fitting, and check that your vehicle has a Dana 35 axle as well.

Should both rear axle shafts be replaced together?

Not always. If one shaft has failed from a fracture or joint wear, the other can be inspected for play, spline damage and seal condition. Replacing both is often sensible on an older axle with similar mileage, since the second shaft carries the same load.
