CV joint vs U-joints
My wife's '98 ZJ has a failed front left U-joint.
I have a '96 ZJ for parts, with nice new CV joint and wheel bearing.
Are the parts completely interchangeable between the '96 and the '98, even though one has u-joint and the other has CV joint? Can I just unbolt the bearing assembly off the '96 and put the whole bearing/axle assembly in the '98? (both have ABS)
