I have bought a 2022 Altitude with a broken front axle.On the picture you see where the axle is cracked. I had shipped the car to Germany and need now some input to repair it.
I think that the are two chances to repair it, no...three.
1.Buy a new one 2. buy a used one or the 3. repair the broken one.
I will first remove the axle to check with a company who is specialized in fixing Jeep axles if the can repair this one.
A used one will also be OK for me, but here i need to know from wich model i can take one.
The Rubicon, 4XE and Mojave have wide axles... i think i need an "small" wich is one inch smaller.
Is this one inch over all or on each side?
Most of the used axles here in Europe are Rubicon axles.
Is it an option to take a rubicon axle and put some spacers on the rear axle?
I have also original 33 inch rims with 285 tyres from a Rubicon and want to use them on my Altitude. Maybe there are spacers mandatory?
ups......There is a fourth option...... Axle housing from China

For my per personal satisfaction Suitable axle for this specific model will be fine....
what is the right Mopar number für this Altitude M210 front axle ?

Please excause my english...hope i had explained my misery good enough.

Greetings
Kai

If broken at the red line. That is the FAD housing. Which is cast iron. That's going to be fun to weld.

Also Max Tow has the wide axles too.

If you end up swapping out the complete axle make sure you have the same gear ratio front and rear. US Rubicons/Mojave/Max Tow have the long 4:10 ratio axle. Other models come typically with the short 3:73 gear ratio axle. Rubicons also have the front locker.

I have a front, short 3:73 ratio axle I want to sell preferably local.

Hello , thanks for answers and tips. Local pickup is a little bit complicatet. :)-)) . I found a company in Poland wich replaces the FAD housing and put an axle truss on it. I will post some pictures when it is ready here.
