Recently went to my mechanic and while the jeep was up on the lift, he pointed out that my Front Passenger side U-Joint is about to fail. He recommended that I not even put it in 4WD or it could break.

I was told that I could just swap out the entire axle shaft with a used shaft from either a '97 or '98 Jeep Cherokee.

What other method would work for me to begin wheeling again?

 

You could buy a new jeep...

haha or you could just replace the U-joint.

PS welcome to Cherokee Forum

 

you can swap it out with another cherokee shaft yes, then replace the bad u-joint in the orginal shaft. Then you will have a spare.

 

Id replace the u-joint. They are about$9.

 

+1 to raplacing u-joint ha.....?
