Yep. Tatton's driveline does it but any local shop should have no problem doing it as well. You would just more than likely have to supply the high-angle rzppa. I find it much easier to take care of problems if the seller is local rather than purchasing online/through the internet. Ive learned that the hard way, lol.

Tom Woods and Adams DS do not work the Rezeppa joints, I called to ask, if I could run a heavy duty Rezeppa joint shaft safely and gain a little caster back I definitely would.

Definitely looks like the teraflex to me. I don't own it so I can't say for certain. My guess would be the teraflex and they just don't want to give them the publicity lol.

From what I've seen, Teraflex right now is the only one with a front drive shaft to have high angle rzeppa's on both ends of the DS.

It's $900 bucks though lol


For the price, that Tatton looks tempting as long as it has the high angle rzeppa on it...

The tatton is a u-joint on the one side. I'm sure they would have no problem building one with them on both ends. I remember when I first started on jeep forums they were one of the big names.

UHH you people are making this way harder than it needs to be.

You broke your slip yoke. Buy a new one for like $60. Spend 30 minutes installing it. Done. It literally just slides off. Put a new ujoint in the new one, slide the slip yoke onto the splined section of shaft, reattach the ujoint at the pinion yoke. Thats it.

There is no reason to take that into a shop and there is no reason to have it rebalanced, and there is certainly no reason to switch to a rzeppa joint.

Count your splines and slip length and find one that matches up. I feel like a lot of people dont realize that all driveshafts are made out of OEM parts that are all very standard.
