junk yard drive shaft???

kenny schmitt · Aug 14, 2009

SO i have a 99 xj with a re 5.5" lift with a tom woods sye and shaft. so the shaft was sitting out of the car for some time and seized up on me. never got it open to inspect the splines but it is stuck bad. I dont want to spend the money on a new one so i was wondering if there is a junkyard shaft that should work. any ideas would be great. Anybody else ever deal with seized splines on a shaft????

I bet a good drive line shop could fix yours for the cost of a JY shaft.

Personally I would call up Tom Woods. Super great people and they may even be able to suggest something, or if you're really lucky, they could warranty it or repair it for cheap. Give 'em a call.

Definitely give them a call. They will hook you up. They stand behind their product no matter what.

But, to answer your question, a front drive shaft out of a XJ with an AW4 should work also. I keep a spare stock front shaft in the XJ with me, and it will fit front or back. I have front and rear tom woods shafts, but the stock front will work also.

Give Tom Woods a call and ask them what you can do to free up your Driveshaft.

You should check out Ford Explorer D/S's, they fit and their a bit beefier and longer than stock. I think mine is from '95ish. There's probably quite a few that will fit with some creative thinking
