In the dana 30 and the 35.
 
they are both crappy jeep axles... and the d35 is a rear axle
 
The D35 is a TTB FRONT axle in RBVs (was also a shitty rear jeep axle), the D30 is a solid axle used in jeeps, early broncos, ect.

The reason why I asked is because I found a build sheet on my Explorer and it said Dana 30 for the front axle. I have no idea.

I emailed Ford and got the build sheet for my Ranger, they said I have active seatbelts and airbags. They are not always 100% right, neither were though of in 1985.
