Driveshafts compatible?

Well my driveshaft on my 98 4x4 xj is dented causing a vibration in my jeep. My question is will a driveshaft from an 87 4x4 xj fit the same as any other? please answer if you know i might be picking up one tomorrow of the 87 if compatible.

No problem

Too bad KY and CT aren't close. I just had a local guy emailing me about one from a '98. I'm sure you won't have too much trouble finding one though.
