axle question

[rdtj]

My buddy told me that I should take the D30 shafts from a cherokee and put in my TJ. He said something about cherokees having cv joints? I really dont know anything about it so i was just wondering what you guys think?:???:

No, Keep what you have. Cherokee's have the same ujoint axleshafts as the TJ, and older Cherokee's have smaller weaker ujoints.

Some Grand Cherokee's have CV axleshafts but you don't want them, they're weaker than what you have in there now.

The only upgrade for you short of a complete axle swap would be aftermarket hardened axleshafts and high-zoot ujoints.

The CV shafts are only good to smoothen the vibes on corners for the soccer mommies

We had an old Cherokee ( XJ ) for a while, a 1984 I think, and it had the CV style shafts in it. That was the only XJ I ever saw with them. It was a four banger with a std transmission and the cool AMC badge on the rear. -John
