U-joint carnage the front DS?
Looks bad from what I can see. Pull the whole shaft, go to a pull-your-own-crap yard, to get a replacement, and
rebuild/replace the U-joints. if you get lucky and find one off a low-mileage wrecker, you could just skip rebuilding it.
if it doesn't have vibes going down the highway, your good to go.
I think you can find ones off ZJ's (even lower wear/mileage) that will work too. just be sure to measure 'em
so you know that it won't bind when fully collapsed/extended
Some are longer, some are shorter. I think the V8 ZJ's had the longest front DS.
(what I used when I replaced my rear DS after sye install. got lucky and found an almost brand new one on e-bay
I Like the build, it reminds me of mine when I was getting started.
