Default Rear Drive Shaft Recommendations

Hey all,

I just noticed that the boot on my rear DS is torn so I am going to have to replace my DS. What recommendations do you have? I have a Tom Woods Front DS as I also tore the boot on that one....should I stick with the same brand or do you have some better suggestions?



Thanks,

Coast and Teraflex are also great. I'm surprised you had an issue with the woods!?

That's correct...I have already replaced my front DS with a Tom Wood's but now my Rear DS needs to be replaced due to a torn boot.

Oh gotcha. I was thinking that bc there's no boot on the aftermarket. I was at work when I posted that.

I'm new to the Jeep world. I'm curious, where is the boot on the DS, and can it not be replaced? Not trying to thread Jack. Just trying to figure this stuff out

Thank you. That's some crap. I guess Chrysler figured they would help the after market world out with that one.
