can somebody please help me find a 4cyl jeep cherokee front drive shaft i have looked all over and i dont want to spend the money to buy a new one i just want a used one that is in really good condition. so if you know where one is tell me.or any other suggestion that will work for it thanks

 

What year is your XJ and where are you located?

 

it is a 96 jeep cherokee and i am located in lima ohio 45805

 

I never knew there was a difference for the 4cyl vs the 6cyl. But if there is I will keep my eyes open for one.

 

thank you and if you can find one that is 26 inches from center of dif u joint to center of the transer case ujoint that should be great even if it is 6 cyl but i just looked at one today and it was 31 it would not collapse enough

 

I'll go outside and measure the one I pulled from my 87 just to know for sure.

 

thank you very much you are def. a true jeeper

 

Completely collapsed it is 31 inches.

 

can you cut it down and fab it up does it have a double cardan u joint

 

It does have the double cardan joint and I' m sure a driveshaft shop could shorten one. 84-87 with the NP207 had the GKN style, and 87-01 with the NP231/NP242 have the double cardan.

 

ok i will check into it how much do you want for it

 

That one is my trail spare, but I can pick one up at the junkyard this wekend for $25 plus shipping. If it is not a desperate need I can try to find one from a 4cyl beacuse I know that all the XJs on the local lot are 6 cyls.

 

well i def. would like one but if you can find one for a four cyl that would be great i can wait awhile lol
