96 zj front d30 any use to me

[IDXJ]

I have a friend with a 96 zj front d30. All I know about the zj is it is a 96 and had abs. He said I could have it if I wanted it. I have a 90 xj. Are the axle shafts interchangable with mine. Also any chance of them being 297x shafts?

Chances are that they are CV-style shafts. If there is no rupper boot over the "u-joint" you will get the 297s.

Anyone know if these shafts will work or not

The shafts will work either way, but the CV-style is weaker
