Are the only aftermarket drive shafts for the rear of the JK all double cardan? I can't seem to find a regular CV shaft that can just be bolted in. I don't want to deal with making the pinion angle so great for a double cardan shaft. Just wondering if there is another shaft out there similar to the factory style, but not crappy and expensive like OE shaft haha

 

Plenty of used stock shafts out there.

 

I don't need an entire new shaft though. It's just the boot that is torn, like a million other people. But wanted to go to a beefier DS and the double cardan requires so much more hassle than just bolting in a regular CV shaft.

 

Qtech shows the boot for the 2dr (not sure why it wouldn't be for both 2 and 4dr) for 10.99.

 

Got a link?

I don't need the spline boot. I need a new boot where the CV joint is. They only sell it as a package with new CV, bolts, plates, and end caps.

 

The stock DS is actually very strong. However, not very rock resistant. I'd have to find the reference, but I am pretty sure the rzeppa joint can handle more torque than a 1310 joint.

 

I dont mind mind the stock shaft. I just need to get a new boot, or come up with something to hold the grease in. I have rebuilt a dozen CV joints and replaced boots. Not hard, just gotta find the boot. I don't want to pay for the CV itself. The old one can be cleaned and regreased and be just fine.

 

There is a company that sells all the replacement parts. Unfortunately, I can't recall who it was. I found it after doing a bunch of google searches.
