New to Jeeps, need some help please
I have a 1999 Jeep Cherokee Classic. I was replacing the U joints, but I broke the right axle shaft. I went to autozone, and advance and they have a different type of cv shaft. I was wondering how I can tell what I need, and where is the best place to find one. Thanks.

So what's the difference between these axle shafts, why would jeep have use both for a 99 jeep? Mostly online and autozone sell the first one. Are they interchangeable? My jeep has the second picture. And also, do they have a boot over the joint? Because when I pulled out mine, both didn't have a cv boot. I'm wondering if it came off or the mechanic that checked it took it off. Thanks for the help guys.

they both will work the u joint stlye is easyer to fix, the first on once you rip the boot your bearings are pretty much exposed to the weather,dirt water

I looked at the ones with the bearings and they were a little bit longer in length compared to my old ones. Would that matter? It's like 2 to 3 inches in differences. And the ABS doesn't seem to line up.
