anyone replace front d-shaft slip yoke?

I have a front shaft from a 98 xj aw4/231. The slip yoke has a broken ear. I would like to replace the yoke and use the shaft as a spare if it is cheap enough.

I'll try to get the numbers cast on it tonight and call Denny's, but I thought I would ask now in case someone has done this.

Mehh...you're probably going to end up with a junkyard shaft to replace that half anyway; I can't really see an advantage to that unless it's because the junker has a different tube length than yours.

just buy another shaft at the junk yard.

do you mean the yoke ear where it bolts to the Tcase?? That would be part of the CV joint (double cardan). you can buy a new one of these and rebuild it. May be a good idea to rebuid it if you're working on it anyways. there are write-ups....somewhere...

Any driveshaft shop can get you a new yoke.
