As you might have guessed. We are changing the front vacumn disconnect axle on my son's 1988 jeep cherokee over to a one piece axle.
I understand that there is the possiblity that with his lift kit, this converson may or may not cause high speed vibrations because of the driveline angle.
I also understand that you can replace the front output transfer yoke and front drive shaft with one from a 1997 or new, XJ or TJ to elimanate the vibration problems.
I thought rather and waiting to see if he does end up with a vibration, we'd go ahead and chase down the new yoke and drive shaft, and just do it.
Not looking forward to laying on the ground in the middle of winter at the junk yard, not really knowing what I'm looking for, so I was wondering if anyone had done this converson and might have a picture they could post of the before and after on the front drive shaft and yoke. Or even if someone happens to have a picture, so I can see what a 1997 or newer looks like, so I know what to look for while I'm searching the local junk yard.
Thanks in advance for any help!
