Driveshafts

Will a 1989 jeep Cherokee front driveshaft work on a 1999 jeep Cherokee if it has the same axle and t-case?

yes it will work as long as they had the same transmission. the manual transmission is shorter and thus requires a shorter driveshaft.

Actually the manual is shorter so it will need a longer driveshaft for the rear. The front is about 29.5 inches in length while the rear shaft needs to be around 35 inches long.

Yes this is true for the rear drive shaft but he was asking about the front with would be shorter.
