FxRacing282 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 sounds about right with labor and whatnot. seems like he is only charging for what? 4 hours? thats not too bad if you look at it realistically. personally id tackle it myself but thats me and i have a couple cars to drive so if it breaks then oh well.

Yea, that's what I was thinking. Plus, the truck is 1.5 hours away from me so I'd have to have it towed to me and then I'd have to spend the time to do it myself. My only concern is if just replacing the U-Joints is smart, or is it better to do the whole shaft. Also, I think I'll have him replace the wheel bearings while he's at it.

pingpong Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I would have him replace the axle seals, and change the long side (passenger) over to a 1 piece. No more work per say. Definately replace the bearings if you question them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oizarod115 Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 you'd get a one piece axle from any cherokee/comanche 91 and newer. in my opinion quit you just need to quit worryin about it. shim the fork over in the axle, replace the u-joints/seals and ride... axleshafts don't break because of old age. they break from abuse, you can break a brand new on if you hammer it right.

FxRacing282 Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Precision extra strength or tough strength or some generic beefy name. They cost me $5 so for anyone who does not work at a garage they would be about $6. NAPA sells precision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
