So this weekend I was changing my bad u joints in the front drive shaft when I pulled this off and its all beat up auto zone didn't have a name for it or listed it? I tried to search on quadratec but no luck finding it? The housing for that bearing is all chewed up so I want to replace it
My xj is a 1987 jeep Cherokee 4.0 I think my t-case is a np242 where can I order these part an what is it called ?

It's called a centering ball.. you can get a rebuild kit at most parts stores.. NAPA etc.
Or you can contact Tom Woods and they will know exactly what you need.

Have a yard pull a front shaft for you, then change/grease the joints. The centering ball kit is kind of a PIA to do. Another option is to buy the whole assembly but that costs more $$$.
You can get a JY shaft for $30-$40 sometimes.
