89 xj, 4.0 auto 4wd 5.5" lift. I have a sye and need a new driveshaft. My slip in my current shaft seized on me?? Out of nowere it just stopped moving, I even grease it regularly. I'm wondering if theres a shaft I could buy from another vehicle that would fit??? I just don't have the cash to buy new. Help!!!! thanks

 

I heard a stock xj front shaft will work but when I measured it, it was too short???

 

the front DS should work, where are you measuring from?

 

not all front drive shafts are same

here ya go this should help

in the thread you linked you said you got one out of a 95 ZJ?

 

I just went out and measured yoke to yoke and got 35 1/4". I am sitting 6" in the rear and 6 1/4" in the front. I thought I was at 5.5" sorry. But which shaft would work for 35 1/4"?????? thanks

 

Yes sorry i got XJ on the brain. it is from a 95 ZJ

 

What was the collapsed and extended measurements of the zj shaft????

 

Ok i measured 33 1/4" fully compressed and almost 37" extended

 

Mine measures 35.25" from furthest part of yoke on transfer to furthest point on rear end yoke. Do you think I could use the same shaft??

 

Will it be enough travel in the slip???

 

I have a PORC HD SYE and im putting it in my 2000 XJ. I'm Just wondering if I can use the same DS off the 95 ZJ or would that not work. I have a D35 out back. I will also be sitting about 5-5.5"

 

Nevermind. I looked at the DANA link and confirmed it. Thanks for your help.

 

are you sure the shaft is out of a auto and not a manual?
