Hey guys, just got back from another 1000 mile journey to michigan's UP(there and back and wheelin while there) and man did i get a bad vibration in the front end on the way home. snow was 15 inches deep and lot of fun. any way, I took out the front driveshaft and found that the "ball" in the middle of the double cardan joint is the culprit. looks like the dust seal has split and the "ball" is loose in there. Does anybody know what the spicer part number is to replace this thing. I can't seem to find the info on napa's website, and I would like to know how much this is going to be before I go to get parts, christmas is right around the corner. Thanks in advance for the help.

 

it would be easier to go to a junk yard and pull a whole new shaft , you can usually pick em up for like 30-40 bucks or check craigslist in your area for people parting out cherokees thats where i found one for mine in exelent shape
