broke a joint, no aftermarket yet? ujoint is 60 dollars from mopar outer shaft is 109, 2 weeks at least, any one had better ideas, or luck

 

Was it a Dana 30, or 44?

 

Yeah I am curious to. What size tires are you running and what were you doing?

 

Did you break the stub shaft too?? Get a spicer joint from an auto parts store, it will be alot cheaper......

 

model 30 35in mt just spinning whule winching up a loose slope, i was VERY suprised it let go.
ive broken a lot of parts in my day, bu this was under 1/4 throttle 4 lo 1st gear as i said, while winching.

 

Huh that kind of sucks. It seems like there have been a few people on the board that have messed up their front axles pretty easily. I'm sorry man but I would call Tom Woods and see if he has a ujoint available for our D30 yet. His stuff is stout.

 

the outer shaft got wasted becaude i had to drive it the rest of the way out
inner shaft is good, no parts store lists a ujoint to fit it, anyone have the number?
is it a 267x inner retainerstyle?
im trying to pm the offer from nv
if you see this pm me, im not too good at the computer thing

 

This happened to me also. The exact same scenario. I have a feeling this is the weak link in the 30's... The dealer fixed mine under warranty, no questions asked. It took about 1 week for the parts to come in, and about 2 hours to get fixed.

 

Not gonna be rude, but you guys need to learn your preious gens history, the u-joints are the weak link. 35s are the MAX a d30 can hold even built with alloy shafts. I try to let all the Jeep noobs understand if they use their rig its not like mall crawlers where 37s "look" cool, you need to run a tir that will let you survue offroad like a 33.

I thought these d30s still use x297 u-joints? If so they are avalible everywhere.

 

just curious, what do the D44s use, and are after market shafts out yet
