I think a JL diesel Sahara or Sport would have the same front axle, but with upgraded cast iron knuckles. Maybe you could find one that has been taken out to upgrade.
Thanks for the info, I'll call the dealer and see which models are compatible tomorrow!

Hello, I have a 2021 Gladiator with front end collision. I am considering spending the money and buying a whole new front axle for it but before I proceed I wanted to know if I can replace just the gear box and spindle? Is it better to just get a whole new axle or just replace the parts that are broken? Reason im not sure it the damage could have damaged the gear box internals...

I drilled a bolt into the axle to be able to move the jeep from place to place lol....

Thanks in Advance!

Appreciate the input, Thats what I was wondering.. if I could split the axle in half and buy just the part I need...
If I have an option to buy the whole thing I might as well do just that.

Replace the entire axle and probably drive shaft also, you should be able to get one here , by posting a WTB post.

The axle housing is one piece, your differential housing is cracked. The whole axle housing is junk and non salvageable. You may be able to reuse your axle shafts, knuckles, ring & pinion and carrier but all need to be checked throughly for damage.

The cheapest option is for you to find a used complete axle for sale here as a take off and use that. Otherwise you will be paying for labor to install all your old parts which may be bad.

Any model jt axle will work just pay attention to the gear ratio of the new to you axle and make sure it matches what you already have or it's gonna cost you more.

A Rubicon axle would work but likely the gear ratio will be 4.10 and the axle a 1/2" wider than stock sport which won't really effect anything.
