XJ's front 89-01 automatic 4.0 are the same length. The collapsed length is 30.066.

from 84-86 Jeep used this "beer can" "stick in a can" style front driveshaft... if you ask me it is "$!@# in a can"




The top one is from the previous owners not keeping grease in it, had 300,000 miles on it
lower one is what it is supposed to look like
