what is it your trying to figure out?

you have a dana 30 axle by the way if that helps.....

yup, all cherokees came with the dana30 front axle. yours is the smaller 260 joint.
i would just grab a complete passenger side shaft from the junkyard, the newer the better as the 97+ has the larger 297 joints, which are stronger than the smaller 260 joints.
if you need to grab a shaft from an earlier xj, grab one that has the abs tone ring. those also had the larger joint. don't worry about the tone ring, it won't be in the way.

tj shafts will also work, but stay away from yj and grand cherokee shafts.

Your in M-town?! I thought I was the only perso in that area with 35's before I moved. Either way.....
Check out this thread, I just replaced my shaft u-joints..Last post on the page.

ok thanks knowing i have the smaller joints will help but what i was trying to figure out my axle has a pressed on end yoke and i cant find another axle like that i got it all pulled out last night and was wondering if anyone has seen these axles with the end yoke like this so i could find one.. that was my main question so a 97 will work if i grab the outer and inner here are some more pic

This is right. The 260x had a pressed on yoke.




You need the axle shafts out of a 1996-1999 XJ or TJ

BLACKSPORT

since you need a new yoke check into ironrockoffroad for their 760x shafts upgrade if you had/have the 260x

this is whats on my end yoke SPICER 3312 and 43350 ... im on the hunt for 96 xj axle now and thanks i need to get back on the trails lol

caged

grab and replace both sides, that way you will have the stronger joints and this won't happen to the other side again.

okxj

I know this is 4 years old but is there some place to just buy the yoke?

Rcrivolio

Morris, or a Junkyard. Probably cheaper to just buy the whole thing from a junkyard.

HEAP of JEEP

Junk yard or maybe find someone scraping out an Xj near you.
