That's what happens when you buy foreign.Less production means less demand for parts..

Yeah.. I read an article about 2 weeks or so ago about how they were trying to shift management around and other things which investors said was a prelude to bankruptcy... I think that is the reason that DC was moving towards using American Axles... I think that Jeep is the only DC division that uses Dana products... Not sure if the 2007 models will even have Dana axles under them...

2007 liberty with no dana 30A? That sounds like a good thing to me.

I dunno about ya'll but given the choice I'd take Dana over American any day.

The D30a may have its fair share of issues, but there are much worse axles that could have been shoved under there.

Dodge made the switch to American Axles long before Dana though about bankruptcy...The started the switch when the came out with the current RAM (was it '02 or '03?)...that may be part of the reason Dana went bankrupt (Dodge used to use lots of Dana's) but I doubt bankruptcy is what lead Dodge to AAM...I think it was the same reason anybody else in any business does something-price...
