I have been hearing a squeak from my driveshaft towards the front of the XJ for a couple weeks now. I'm pretty confident that I need to rebuild the double cardan joint.

I am having problems finding the parts. Does anyone have a link or at least the correct word for what I need to buy? So far I have seen it called;
Centering yolk
Socket Yolk Assembly
Front CV Joint
CV Centering Link
Dual Cardan Drive Shaft
Centering Ball
DOUBLE CARDAN cv PARTS

The problem is, I can't find any of that online. I realize I need 3 u-joints. But what is the other thing called?

 

go to the parts store to get new u joints

 

So you don't know what the other part is called?

 

its called a dual cardan drive shaft

Nice. I'll add another name to my list above and still be no closer to finding the part I need.

PS. That article calls it a centering ball.

I need a;
Centering yolk
or
Socket Yolk Assembly
or
Front CV Joint
or
CV Centering Link
or
Dual Cardan Drive Shaft
or
Centering Ball

depending on who you ask.

 

It's in the 7,6,2 area of this diagram however they too don't say what they hell it is called.
This same diagram is on Quadratec however they conveniently left off the names of the part as well.

take the driveline to the parts store or find a driveline shop, but Dual Cardan Drive Shaft or cv driveshaft is the only terms i have heard.

 

That refers to the entire thing that I am trying to rebuild.

 

DOUBLE CARDAN cv PARTS From 26 To 80 degrees, From 1/2 ton to 2 ton rating, from 1600 ft-lbs to 3000 ft-lbs strength.

 

Seen that before too. The question remains. What is the part called and where do I get it?

 

Constant velocity joint, quadratech has the parts. Call customer service and tell them what you have.

OK Cowboy. Go ahead and find that part(s) online somewhere. I'll paypal you 5 bucks if it's what I am looking for and called that.
