Overview
The Omix-ADA 16530.58 is a Dana 35 driver-side rear axle shaft, 30.62 inch long with 27 splines, for 1995–1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee (ZJ) models with ABS rear disc brakes.
The 16530.58 is a driver side Dana 35 rear axle shaft for ZJ owners with ABS rear disc brakes. It is a longer shaft for replacing a failed rear axle shaft, and it is a direct OE replacement with a limited five-year warranty.
The Grand Cherokee ZJ used a Dana 35 rear axle, and cars with ABS and rear disc brakes use a different shaft from the drum brake models, which is why this one carries the ABS note. At 30.62 inch long with 27 splines, the shaft is intended for the driver side. A wider note: the 1995 to 1998 span is narrower than the passenger side listing, so check your build date. Omix-ADA gives no material or strength information.

Length and brake setup
A rear axle shaft for a Grand Cherokee with ABS rear disc brakes has to match the brake setup as well as the axle. The ABS sensor and tone ring sit near the axle end, so those parts should be checked when the shaft is replaced. A shaft that fits a drum brake axle may not suit the ABS disc setup, which is why the brake type matters when choosing a replacement.
Before fitting, compare the old shaft’s length and spline count with the new part, and inspect the axle bearing and seal, which are often replaced in the same job. Look for damage to the flange and the hub face, and clean them before assembly so the new shaft seats flat. Recheck the wheel bolts and hub nuts after the first drive.
