Lengthen Driveshaft in Louisville

XJRN · Feb 19, 2011

Anyone know where I can get my front DS lenghtened in or around Louisville? I need this done tomorrow in order to make it to winterfest.

Hobag can do that...might need to supply materials.

or try this place: driveline shop

Or go to Pick N Pull and grab a front DS off a V8 ZJ...

I have a zj front shaft I can let go of for $30.00. U-joints are in good shape. Let me know and I will put it in the Winterfest pile of parts.

How much longer is the zj shaft?

85xjwoody · Feb 19, 2011

I don't remember right off hand, but I think it is around 1" or 2" longer

Found this link? Hard to tell which one I need. I have an aw4 np231 and am about 1-1.5" too short. Any thoughts about which zj to rob?

The driveshaft I have available was pulled from a zj with a 5.2v8 and a 231 t/c. It shows to be just over 2.5" longer.

I think that may be too long.

This is a cool site. Looks like I need a 97-98 with 4.0 np242 DS.
