Jeep grand Cherokee driveshaft hanger bearing failure solution !!!!!!!!! ( finally)

This is my second driveshaft that failed on me so I went with something better than oem and a lot stronger. They are called “partsbyweller” on eBay and they provide a great solution to the weak oem driveshaft that has multiple failing points.

This is a good thought and attempt in theory, but inferior to stock. Many people seem to have the notion that stock means basic, or less. In actuality, stock is always going to be the best option for replacement parts since no manufacturer has the exact specifications And build quality as the original OEM manufacturer that designed the vehicle. The very small percentile cases where aftermarket might supersede stock is with something like a dedicated off road package, A super beefy dedicated suspension part, or a high performance engine part. For most basic things, especially suspension, stock OEM is by far the best option nearly every case - Generally speaking. If your new drive shaft is failing too soon then it is not the drive shaft. Your differential bushings are either bad, your transmission carrier bushing is bad, or your engine mounts are bad. Other bushings that will go bad beyond what I just noted Are more so control arm related Front and back, and the symptoms you experience with that is rapid tire as well as vibrations while driving. Choose OEM and just make sure the rest of your vehicle is ready to support the new part. You cannot build a house on sand, and you cannot install a new part on a failed supporting one 👍

I agree I ended up going back to a stock unit I will make a update video on why I ended up going back to stock. Great feedback though and thank you

Hey guys, I bought the one peace drive shaft and I installed it... got that very nasty vibration some are reporting at speed. The cause is the transfer case shaft and pinion angles are not setup for a drive shaft using universal joints. I haven't measure the actual angles at the transfer case end and the differential end but it is obvious they are not equal. When I look at the 2 peace shaft installed, the transfer case to the hanger bearing is aligned, and then the rear section of the shaft is angle slightly down to the rear diff. In order for the 1 peace shaft with u-joints to work, the angle of the diff needs to be tweaked "down" to the same angle of the transfer case shaft. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be an easy way to tweak the pinion angle of the diff because of the way it is mounted onto the rear sub-frame. I am going to look into this more as I want the 1 peace shaft as the new 2 peace I installed only lasted 6 months for me. I think I might be able to adjust the front diff mount to change the angle.

[@Frank_tha_tank1]

Yes I agree I got a slight vibration when I installed the one peace driveshaft. I’m not sure if it was due to the fact that it wasn’t balanced correctly but I had to go back to a new stock unit and my Car Has been great since.

[@ericcunningham8859]

I just bought this driveshaft for my 2011 JGC Laredo 5.7. Hopefully this will solve the clunk issue.

[@Frank_tha_tank1]

It’s a great investment but make sure to check your diff bushings and mounts they can also cause the same noise

[@Geezygotabag008]

@@Frank_tha_tank1 I have this clucking noise when I pull off from a red light or a stop is the same noise you were having?

[@Frank_tha_tank1]

@Geezygotabag008 is it just when you pull off a light ? My was making a noice only when I was in bumper to bumper traffic and on lights

[@Geezygotabag008]

@@Frank_tha_tank1 that’s how mines is making noise when bumper to bumper at light or pulling off from stop sign. How much was this driveshaft you have ?

[@Frank_tha_tank1]

@Geezygotabag008 driveshaft was about 550 back when I purchased it but start off by looking and your front differential mounts and rear mines were in really bad shape

[@JesusGutierrez-sb5st]

Did you have trouble with any clearance with the new drive shaft?

[@Frank_tha_tank1]

Nope no issues at all this is a plug and play

[@aaronpatalune4363]

Great video! Inheriting my father in law's 2013 with the 3.6 engine. He was a diesel mechanic. Wish he was still alive to diagnose as we know nothing about cars. It sometimes makes a clunk when pulling out. Reminds me of a bad universal. Took it to the garage he got his cars inspected at and they couldn't find anything. They suggested some software upgrade. I doubt it. Any tips to troubleshoot this?

[@Frank_tha_tank1]

Is the clunk only when pulling off ? How many miles does the car have ? It can be a bad differential mount or even bad cv axles

[@aaronpatalune4363]

@@Frank_tha_tank1 its still very intermittent. Sometimes pulling out, I think sometimes maybe a few seconds after pulling out, sometimes not at all. About 110,000 miles on it. I believe they checked the cv's and said they were good. Probably going to have to wait until it gets worse or more frequent. Sounds like the clunk is coming from the rear when it does it.

[@SithLRDRevan]

Considering this was a year ago. How is it holding up?? Just got mine replaced a month ago and it already failed

[@Frank_tha_tank1]

It's been holding up good. but as other have stated its a hit or miss because some have experienced some slight vibration at high speeds. Due to that issue if you can find a used oem one in good condition do that.

[@Frank_tha_tank1]

what part of the driveshaft failed ?

[@SupremeHaulers]

Does it clear the exhaust?

[@Frank_tha_tank1]

yeah, it cleared the stock exhaust, and all the stock driveshaft covers. please this driveshafts comes with places you can grease up, so it won't fail.

[@HectorGarcia-v5z]

i recently bought this shaft installed the first one just like how the video was shown but then nocticed that at high speed (80+) it would get a vibration so i thought maybe it was out of balance contacted wellbuilt about the issue and sent me out another one no questions asked installed this one and is still doing the same thing has any one had this issue

[@Frank_tha_tank1]

Have you checked ur transmission mount ? And rear differential mounts?

[@johneydenisebarnhill6175]

Where did you purchase this from? My daughter's jeep is having same issue and im not going to pay $600 for something that will fail again. The ebay link didn't work.

I think he stop making due too ppl saying they were balanced correctly but check eBay

[@ericdingle8194]

Really dude no product link 😮

[@Frank_tha_tank1]

sorry I think the seller stop making this part due to some of the issues ppl were having such as the vibration at high speeds. I have a drive shaft if you are interested probably needs to be balanced.

Bro.. this video shined a huge light! I see you had issues with the after one you got, but I thought I was having prob with cv axle or bearings.. I found nothing! This vid got me lookin in hopefully the right spot now. Thank you

@MrJbowers29 no problem make sure to check the rubber boot to see If it’s broken that can cause a clucking
