redneck23ms Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 you can get the axle out of any xj,tj,zj. easiest to find are later model xj's or even early ones with abs. they will have the 297 u-joints. once you look at a couple you'll be able to tell the difference from the 260 joints to the 297. i'm in the process of doing this swap myself. i did some searches on naxja an there are several different seals that people have used. what i'm going to do is use a stock drivers side seal and grind the housing until it fits. the reason i'm going this route is all of the other seals don't have the little ramp on them to guide the axle shaft thru the seal. and the seals can easily be damages by the shaft banging on them without the ramp. well i will be doing this as soon as i get the axle shaft nut loose that is. been hitting it with pb blaster for several days and already broken a 1/2" drive extension, ratchet and breaker bar on it.
