Thanks everyone for the help. Got the new driveshaft on last night. Went out and hit the highway at 85 and no vibration. So that was good news. A little scary pulling my old one off and I'm not sure if it was original, but it could have been. At 141k I am couting my lucky stars it didn't fail before I got my new one on.

EDIT: What is the best thing to do with my old driveshaft?

Rebuild it, paint it, and sell it to someone and make your money back!


No srsly.

After buying one on ebay and having vibrations start around 40mph again, I bit the bullet and ordered all the rebuilding supplies and had a local driveline shop rebuild mine. It worked GREAT. Well, till someone stole it a month ago.

Guess I'll be rebuilding the ebay one this time around lol.

Don't forget to get it balanced buy a reputable drive line shop and ask what rpm they balance them to.

I'll ship you my old one for just the shipping if you want it. It will need to be rebuilt.

That is the one I bought. I was very pleased with it. It is really high quality and I have no vibration at any speed.

^Yes, you should always trust a person who can't spell "heavy duty" and is a Jeep fan selling Land Rover parts.

Regardless of what you think the quality speaks for itself. I'm happy with it and imagine it will be just as good as any other drive shaft. I've seen plenty of spelling mistakes which certainly make people look less than educated, but they still know what they're talking about. Judging a drive shaft by how someone spells is idiotic.
