Quick facts
- Part: Dorman 697-356 differential ring and pinion
- Fits: 2005-2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee and other vehicles

Grinding or whining from the rear axle can mean the ring and pinion is worn, though a worn rear wheel bearing or a driveshaft U-joint can be behind a similar noise, so find the cause before you replace gears. The rear axle takes one ring gear and one pinion, and this listing supplies both.
Fits
The 2005-2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee, the 2002-2012 Jeep Liberty and the 1987-2010 Dodge Dakota are all covered by this ring and pinion, and so are other vehicles.
