Rear pinion Yoke blew appart. Help with compatibility
The rear pinion yoke on my 01 XJ literally blew into 2 pieces. Ive got a 29 spline 8.25 axle. I was woundering of the yoke from an older model will work. I dont have enough money to pay anyone so how would i know when to stop tightening the new one on?
Thanks yall

The yoke didn't fail the u-joint did. Be that as it may first make sure you didn't turn the driveshaft in to a pretzel. If thats OK boneyard companion flange fix is as follows. Hold companion flange with preferably a companion flange support tool or giant channel locks. Add 2 drops of blue lock tite spin the lock nut on and torque to 150 ft. lbs. It's as good as anything and will either last 50,000 miles or around the block, which ever comes first.

Probably just call around to boneyards. I don't see either companion or pinion flange listed seperately on carpart.com.
