96+XJs and 96+ Grand Cherokees have a sealed TC output shaft with a rubber boot and 2 Perma-Quick clamps
I realize that most use zip ties but I don't want to.
I have the tool to crimp the clamps, so, I want to use the clamps.
Only problem is I can't find them anywhere. The dealer is too expensive and I need to do 3 Jeeps.
I need a source.
To make it interesting for you guys I'll throw a bone. The drive shaft needs to be removed once in a while (60K?) and lubed. I use Valvoline synthetic grease with moly.
Lack of lube will show when you come to a stop. The DS hangs up a bit and it feels as if something underneath is shifting. When you let go of the brakes, in extreme cases you will feel it shift again. At one time I even thought I had transmission problems.
If you have a Jeep that feels as I described, pull the DS and lube it, nothing to loose but a few minutes.
In the mean time I need clamps. Source, sizes, prices, anything you know.
Thanks.
