front drive shaft u-joints

[extra-medium]

I finally got under my jeep today to investigate the sounds i have been hearing when driving. I took the front drive shaft from the t-case to the front diff. out and the u joint closest to the t-case is the culprit. There is like a ball joint in between 2 u joints and the bushing around it has gone out because there is play in it and the ball just moves around inside there. I have been looking and can't find just that joint. Does anyone know what the name of it is? I'm not in a rush since i just finished school today and i work right behind my house, but i was looking to get the new parts installed next week.

p.s.- thank you jeep for making it easy as cake to take the drive shaft out. There are just 8 8mm bolts holding it in.

Gears over in Leigh just off the freeway on the east side can rebuild that Double Cardon joint for ya. They did mine last year for 65$ on my rear drive line.

i heard six states in orem off i15 was pretty good, but they are just parts. I can do the work since i have a press at work and plenty of tools unless there is a specialty tool i need.
