i have a 96 and was wondering were is the best place to order a hack and tap

 

are you against the the idea of using a TH350 yoke and doing it yourself? All you have to do is cut a few inchs off the T/C output shaft and the yoke and drill and tap the center and your done. you could prob do it for 10-20 bucks if you got the yoke at the JY.

 

Not to hi-jack, but does that work on a 242 as well?? Just curious, honestly I'd rather do it that way if it does, then spend the money on useless stuff!! LOL!!

 

the th350 yoke wont work its not a CV yoke
and you will need A new seal bracket

 

you need this yoke

 

What yoke is that??

 

STupid question what is the differance in a U-joint and CV Joint

 

1303-27 CV
perfect fit for a hack n tap this is the yoke that is used on the go jeep right up

 

cvs are junk in my opinion..

 

iron rock offroad sells an awesome kit that comes with everything (including bits and a tap) for $100...someone just bought one on here a few days ago...then you just need to get a front driveshaft from an auto xj...i got mine for 20 bucks at the local pick and pull...or you can buy a refurb one from iron rock for another 99 bucks.

 

why do a hack and tap for that money when you can get a full sye for 75 bucks more at PORC?

 

Rubion express makes a good sye kit for the 231 but its a lot harder to find a sye for a 242... there is one out there but most people go with a hack n tap for the 242. i have one for mine but i think i am going to look into the proper SYE for the 242. i dont like the forces on the end bearing with the hack n tap system tho it hasnt caused a prob yet.

here is some instructions on a hack n tap for a 242. http://polytropia.com/cherokee/sye

 

OK there junk now explain why they are junk

 

i think you're talking about two different things. a constant velocity joint on an axle shaft is weaker than a u joint. but the discussion is about cv drive shafts w/ fixed yokes, replacing a slip yoke
