Jeep WJ Driveshaft Special - Part 2 - Vortex Garage Ep. 19

[@jeepwj19]

This jeep WJ driveshaft episodes are by far the best. Lots of information, detailed, and intuitive. I just swapped the Rezeppa front shaft for the double cardan I got from a V8 WJ. Rezeppas sure don't like higher-than-stock angles.

I am loving your WJ videos. Very well put together! I have two wjs and this is pretty much the best series I've found talking about this model. Thanks so much. I've learned a lot and my to-do list is growing.

[@kylemays4401]

i don't understand why these videos have more views. This is great information and is well spoken.

[@VortexGarage]

Thanks! I figure I will keep posting what is hopefully good content, and more folks who can use the info will stumble across it :) I'm glad people checking it out are getting something good from the videos. Thanks!

[@logger711]

watching these make me wana rebuild my driveshafts wether they need it or not, good shit bro

[@matiastripode2692]

Excellent tutorial. Lot of good details on the steps. Please keep going with the great work!

[@MA-ct7qr]

Great video, very helpful since I'll be changing out my u joints soon. Only distraction is that background music...

[@bogey18991]

You have provided great videos to learn from , kudos sir

[@khandofreeman]

You make this look sooooo easy. I have the slip yolk drive shaft on my i6 WJ. I'm experiencing a lot of vibrating when travelling 60 mph or better. I intend to remove the drive shaft, knock some rust off of it, and rebuild it. Thanks for the awesome tutorial.

[@iphone3gsdivine]

Khando Freeman he did that rebuild fix your vibrations?

[@themarshmellowfamilysquad7707]

Awesome videos, thanks. Really informative

[@VortexGarage]

scott hub Thank you! glad you enjoyed and found it helpful!

[@MOTOWNN]

Excellent video! and info.

[@zxtenn]

A bit off topic but I have a 96 ZJ from NY so some scaling underneath. I just REPLACED the 3 front bearing knuckle bolts, they were badly rusted and when the bolt head rusts away that means trouble when replacing axles or hub.Actually I replaced both sides, I got lucky with 1 bolt smashing a 12 MM 12 point on as the rust was taking its toll

[@francisbrackney2061]

I have heard of guys using the razeeba cv front shaft in place of a rear one for a lift, although I don't think I would recommend it.

[@WJ4x4OR]

thank you thank you thank you. do you know how hard is is to find a video like this. specially with the 247 case.

[@MakeItMike]

WOah what happened at 14:40!? I think you skipped a section of your video installing the new u joint!?

[@santiagohernandez..]

Aren’t you damaging the shaft with the table clamp?

[@dan5087]

Love your videos, but I wish you would add links to the tools and parts you use in your videos as an added touch. Nothing a quick google search won't solve, but I digress.

[@evanjeffries1398]

I have serious axle wrap badddd. I have solid u joints. And all Brand New upper/lower rear control arms w bushings. Any help???? It got 2.5" lift springs

[@louiscody4419]

I am not car mechanic and rebuild my driveshaft cv front, after the installation and drive the jeep 2003 laredo 4.0 around for some time and I found cv grass was very wear spray outside the cv joint. Any idea what happened and what I should do

[@arturgrzyb9473]

Hi I was reading that for bigger lifts you could replace rear drive shaft with the double cardan font shaft and do sye. Any thoughts on that ?

[@Coondawgwoopwoop]

when I did my ujoints that disc on the yoke slipped out of alignment by a 1/4 of an inch. What can I do to fix that? It's the outer ring that has moved.

[@jamesboldrey4434]

I have a 2004 4.0 with a 4" lift you said there a kit to change the front drive shaft to a double cardan where can i find one

[@francisbrackney2061]

Check out Rusty's off road .

[@BlakeMilliken]

How do I remove the rear pinion yoke and install a new bearing/seals? I'm getting squeaking from this area.

[@robhindley3605]

What are the symptoms of a driveshaft that needs to be rebuilt?

[@VortexGarage]

I would say vibration at speed and also grinding and vibration on moderate to hard braking or acceleration. Basically high speed rotation or events that put more stress and articulation on the joints will cause noise or vibrations

[@VortexGarage]

also on the rzeppas a torn rubber boot or wet grease apparent on it shows that dirt and water prob entered and have damaged the joint

[@robhindley3605]

Vortex Garage thanks...I definitely have a torn rubber boot...but I also have a whine almost like a sport bike is on the highway next to me. It usually happens at 40 mph and above and while my foot is just barely on the gas...not really accelerating but maintaining speed...could that be from the driveshaft too?

[@VortexGarage]

yes could be - of course it could be other things like a gear wine or pinion bearing or wheel bearing but driveshaft a likely culprit. depending on the transfer case you have most Jeep wjs should be OK to run with no front driveshaft. if the noise goes away when removed it helps you pinpoint it. I'd ping on the WJ page Jeepforum.com to confirm you are safe to run without it but I'm fairly certain if memory serves - which is why you should double check lol!

[@robhindley3605]

Haha...thanks!!

[@zerofuckkksgiven8027]

Did you touch it
