Front driveshaft help
Alright so I did my sye an couldn't find a driveshaft from the u pull it yard at the time so we robbed my front. Couple weeks ago I found one out there but it's missing the dust cap with the grease fitting. I have tried everywhere around here. Autozone oriellys advanced an napa no dice. Does anybody know where the hell I can get this cap an does something else go with it? This is the first time I've ever really had to dissect a driveshaft in my years of owning a jeep. They usually just break an u get another lol. Pics make everything better so here you go. Thanks in advance

Well if I find another at the junk yard I'll just get the whole shaft but they are kinda hard to find down here an I've already been without it a month. I'm ready to be able to use the fun lil lever next to my right leg lol.

That end is the same for zj also, just different length shaft, you can just pull the axle end off and swap it. I believe wj and others as long as it had a d30 front also

I got one more place to look tomorrow. It's a drivetrain shop an they will probably have it just want alot for it. If not I'll start searching the jys again. One of them has one but it's not u pull it an they want 70 bucks. May just be easier to break down an pay that. Is a zj shaft longer than the xj shaft with the same flanges? I really need one just alil longer in the rear. It's in there am working fine but it's almost to full extension sitting level

I took my front ds out an put it in the rear when I did my sye but like I said it's just barely ling enough. Might go back out to the jy this weekend an see if I can find a zj with a 231 that might be just what I need. I'm willing to find out since they are only 15 bucks out there
