Hi all,
So finished lifting the 84 wagoneer, Took it to the mechanics last week to replace my ratcheting D30 w/disco CV shafts (which I understand is an anomaly), an alignment, and other minor stuff. So minor stuff was fixed, get a call Monday.
Apparently he can't find replacement shafts for my axle. Car quest and other shops kept sending him either non disco shafts or disco shafts that are 27 splines and a smaller diameter as opposed to the originals (29 spline). So we decide to send out the originals to get rebuilt, at a significant cost compared to buying shafts(65 for a shaft and 110 to rebuild each). So I get a call today, they can't find parts to fix the joint.....
So I call jeep customer service as a last ditch effort, they refer me to three vendors, all of whom insisted that XJs didn't exist before 86 .....:huh:
What the hell do I do ! I'm dead in the water without my daily driver.
