Hello All. This is my first post. This is a great site. Thank you to all who contribute.
I have a 2000 Jeep XJ L6, Automatic. It has ABS. Recently, while replacing the front axle u joints, the passenger side inner axle galled while pressing out the old joint. I finally was able to remove the old joint, but was left with a probably .025" "ridge" on the yoke where the caps press in. I filed and sanded down the ridge as best as I could and pressed the new joint in. It felt ok pressing in but was not like the others. So two questions.
1) do you think it is okay to leave it as is?
2) If I want to replace the passenger side inner axle, what is compatible (ie what year jeeps, models (xj, wrangler, etc) and can I use the inner axle from a NON ABS jeep (the outer axle yoke is still fine)?
Thanks in advance.
