Shafts?

[XJumpmaster]

Im thinking getting some new axle shafts. 760's. Are these the strongest? Where and how much, ball park figures?

760(297) is the U-joint, they are the "biggest", but for strongest you need to go with alloy shafts.

Non-alloy, around 400-500 for both inner and outters(brand new)
Alloy, double that..

Junk yard, probably around 100-200

Yeah, i'm replacing ball joints and inner seals tomorrow and thought maybe replacing shafts as well. those might have to wait till spring unless I can find some cheap. Or wait till I can regear.

Thanks.

Your jeep already has the bigger 760 joints. Can't remember the year break but the new body style jeeps had them.

even older XJ's with ABS had them

Cool! then I will just have to wait and make sure the shafts aren't damaged!

Thanks guys!

Shafts are good!!! Drivers u-joint bad. Six states replaced both sides for $40.(Don't know if that is good or bad?) Didn't get to the seals because I couldn't figure out a tool to remove and replace them. Any help would be awesome!

While doing that, replaced ball joints. My camber was negative so I replaced with new. Went and got an alignment done and guess what?





Camber still -1.4* it didn't solve a damn thing!!!!!!! They say I need adjustable ball joints to fix it! So now I gotta do it all over again next weekend! So with the exception of the u-joints getting fixed, yesterday was wasted! I need to find some good prices on Monday and see if I can return the others.

Any good ideas?

Decent price for the u-joints..

Bent axle housing maybe.....

Does anyone here know where I can get adj. ball joints cheaper than $75 a piece?

I don't want to replace the axle until I can afford a 44!

Thanks guys!

is it something you can deal with till the 44?

I'm tryin to make tires last longer. right now the inside edges are wearing faster. Realistically, the D44 won't happen until the Jeep is paid off(2-3 years)
