Missing Front Drive Shaft

[Drahcir495]

I just looked under my truck and noticed I don't have a front drive shaft? Maybe Its because the D44 front axle I put in had a u-joint a different size on the yolk end?? I really can't remember why or how long its been missing . Probably since I built it up .  I have two drive shafts in the corner of the garage but I don't know if they are for the CJ or the Comanche??. Anyone got a picture of one I can compare to mine? If I don't have one, can I take one off a Cherokee and have the correct length?

Got a tape measure? 

[Drahcir495]

Dante2 thank you 

 

Cruiser54 - I'm in Wisconsin until the end of the month, so I am not able to measure anything yet. What am I shooting for?

[cruiser54]

Okay. IIRC, CJ driveshaft is small diameter and pretty long. XJ is big diameter like the rear. Does that help? 

[Drahcir495]

That does. I will check out the 2 I have. Thank you

I would assume the XJ and MJ have the same front driveshaft.

[cruiser54]

and you would be correct.

I think I found it but it’s rusted and seized up. I forgot it was left outside . Working on getting it freed up and then to work to remove the rust, replacing the U-joints and then painting it.

Evapo rust works great

Never heard of that? I will look into it
