Default Rear driveshaft differences
I have my 1996 with a 4.0 AW4 and a 242 and was wondering what differences there are between the rear driveshafts from other XJ's?

Reason is I may have a vibration in the rear caused by a bent driveshaft but want to find a replacement to see if the vibration goes away.

Curious, do you know how the driveshaft got bent?

Could also remove the rear driveshaft and drive it in 4-PartTime. See if the vibes disappear.
