Being new to this... can anyone point me to any good web reference (or otherwise) on these axles. I really don't understand what a D44 is and why is it different on a jeep and an XTerra. And where can I find info about the axle on the standard new gen X?

I am pretty sure there are a lot of lurkers interested in this as well.
