Over the weekend I was doing some work on the jeep. While replacing u joints I had one of the caps explode on me. A bit annoyed but didn't think much of it. After attempting too press in the second u joint I noticed the yokes are slightly bent together. The axles are very old and rusty as it is and Id rather not spend the time to rework them. Now I'm looking for a cheap axle/ u joint combo to slap in and last a couple months of some simple point A-B driving. Any suggestion? Any brands I should keep away from?

 

Look at used axles i forget the year but the newer xjs used a little better axles.

 

It depends on what year your jeep is.

 

The pile is a '95 without abs. Pulling axles from a junkyard isn't exactly an option for me because of the inevitable rust out here. I'm not opposed to used axles though.

 

Go to the for sale section here and on other XJ sites they can be found cheap, if not place a wanted ad.

 

Or just use the cheapest factory replacements you can find,Unless you got 33s or bigger or a rock crawler those axles will live for a while.
