My rear driveline broke last weekend on Potato Salad, and came completely off. One of the tabs that holds the U-Joint in on the axle yoke sheered off, and the slip yoke end also had a chunk break off. The teeth still looked good. I replaced the slip yoke end with one off a 89 comanche. It wasn't the exact same yoke, but was the same length. When I removed the axle yoke, I just took off the nut and left the pinion there. After re-assembly, the jeep seemed to drive a little smoother. I ran Hells revenge with no problems, but after wards we heard some loud pops from the vicinty of the rear pumpkin. It drove home (to spanish fork) alright, and made it to Provo and back today, but with some serious vibes going 70 on I-15 today. My questions are: Can you unbolt a pinion from the outside, and then rebolt without affecting the inside? What could be the cause of the popping? Why the new vibes?
I have a 97 XJ sport, skyjacker 3" lift, AAL rear, plus tera flex 1.5" shackles. No T-Case drop kit, original driveshaft. Any help would be appreciated. Conrad
