Need stock driveshaft

[awr94903]

Does anybody have a stock xj driveshaft they're willing to part with? Mine's bent and I need a replacement soon. I'm located in the bay area, but will be driving up to sac in a week or two. Thanks.

 

[Maximus]

I have got one just sitting here and it can be yours if you can come get or meet me in Sac during the day.

 

[awr94903]

Sweet, I wish I had know when we met last week, oh well . Are you in Sac every day?

 

[ChuckD]

The Rob express even travels to Fresno,

 

[Maximus]

Forgive but I do not remember metting you, where was it?

 

[ChuckD]

Forgive but I do not remember metting you, where was it?

Ya we mett all the time,

 

[awr94903]

I sold you the 31" big o's on laredo wheels for your MJ.

 

[ChuckD]

Rob's got a bad memory, half the time he can't remember where he put his money,

 

[Maximus]

Hey I did remember but it took me a day to figure it out. There is so much going on I forget things all the time. Let me know when you are in Sac and we can work something out.

 

[awr94903]

Ok, thanks a lot rob, it'll probably be a week or two.
Chuck, was that you who was with rob that day?

 

[ChuckD]

Not me,

 

[awr94903]

Maximus, will it work with a chrysler 8.25 & ax-15? If so, I'd like to meet up with you sometime this week. TIA

 

[ChuckD]

Hey Rob, if you have a AT DS it won't work, too short. I have one that will be coming off soon, but not soon enough. Neil has my spare one, it's a little bent up but will work fine for a daily driving or at least as a really good trail spare. I'll try to get with Neil tomorrow.

I have a 93' with an AX-15 and 8.25 rear, well I used to,

Thanks Chuck, I'm driving back to school in AZ this friday, so I kinda need a strait one, looks like I may be driving out there in front-wheel-drive. How much shorter is the AT DS? if it's just a little bit shorter, will it work on the street (where the rear axle wouldn't be articulating at all?

 

[ChuckD]

My bent one should not be a problem at all.

Do you have any lift on your XJ? The slip-yoke engagemant may be an issue with the AT one. You may just hit a bump and then it will fall out or you will mess up your output shaft.

For what it's worth if you're driving through LA, I might have a stock dshaft from ax15np231 and 8.25 in the rear available. It's 29" ujoint to ujoint

 

[Gary E]

umm, you don't want to be driving around without a rear ds unless you have a sye. I think I have a couple laying around but don't know what length they are, I think there is a stock 4.0/at/d44 one and a 4.0 auto d35 one.

 

[ChuckD]

Don't forget about that one you pretzled!

 

[awr94903]

Chuck: I have about -2" of lift due to sagging springs, but may throw on some add-a-leafs to level it out.

Kejtar: Thanks for the offer, I go through bakersfield and then through the Tehachipi Pass. I'd make the detour, but I'm going to make the drive overnight.

Gary: I have been driving it around a bit in front wheel drive, but I cut the bottom off a coke bottle and secured it over the output shaft housing with a hose clamp and rtv sealant. Booty Fab! Yeah!

Sorry I have been out of town and not online. I guess my shaft wont work so good luck!!!
