steering shaft u-joints

[rad8275]

does anyone have a part # for the u-joints in the steering shaft. I have an '88 Cherokee with the 4.0 with power steering.

Thanks,
Rick

I've got to fix this one too. apparently you have to replace the entire shaft as the u-joint is non-replace/repairable. '96 and up shafts are different and wont fit. most of the ones I find in the wreckers are already toast. so its either a couple of bills at the dealer or aftermarket such as flaming river. pisses me off.

I got mine from Mako Offroad, it was the entire shaft though. The old needle bearings inside the joint had turned to dust. Pretty sure you can find it on E-Bay.

So the '95 and ealier shafts are different than the '96 and later?

This one says it'll fit '84 to '00 I was thinking of picking it up for my '96

I installed a WJ ('00-present) steering box in my xj; had to use the lower section of the WJ steering shaft mated to the upper section of XJ steering shaft. I'll guarantee the two are big-time different.
