Can you grease the ball? Once I get my other shaft I'm replacing all three joints

Did you hear my motor yesterday after I started it? Would misfire and barely stay on. That's heat soak. After the motor sits in heat for a short time and you try to start it. That's heat soak, I don't think yours was that

Rear axle shaking

Im new with Jeep
Last month i bought a 1997 cherokee imported from japan. Until now i have spend twice as much as bought the jeep into fixing it.
Now the problems i have are;
-while driving it feels that I'm draging the rear axle.
-when i put it in Drive aloud "clank" is heard from rear
-when i make a tight turn the rear feel like is jumping back and forth.

Any suggestion please

'88 and '96 are different. Trying to find the breaks between years left me with no good information. I found tons of people who disagree with each other.

E-fan should trigger at 220°F and run til it drops to 200°F.
