This is the rear UJ / CV at the diff end of the driveshaft (Rear Diff)... looks like the top "Cup" has split and there's something screwy at the bottom too :(
Guess I know what was causing the vibes now :twisted:

Easy to change you'll just need to remove the prop shaft cos it's easier to do on a bench!
Might aswell change both ends whilst you're at it - expect to pay about £20 an end.

I'm with Ric, remove the rear prop and do both ends!

Found this http://http://www.4wd.com/newsite/shop/productdetail.asp?pid=153X&model=tj&cat=14&kid=392&catid=392&mid=n but no idea if that's the right ones....
Also, anyone got a few tips on the removal and replacement.... From the book it looks like removing the prop is just undoing the rear end (Strap bolts) and releaseing the dust cover from the tranny case end (Marking it first) before you pull it off. I take it you can use cable ties when you put this back on ????
But then it starts talking about needing a press.... now are we talking a g-clamp and a bit or force, or do you really need a press / vice (of which I own neither!) especially as it seems that the new ones "Push in" ???
So, I need a shopping list and an idiot guide........ Please :)

as Greggmo has said get a greasable one. Depending on how stuck it is you can normally use a big bench vice to press the UJ out, just use a suitable size socket to help press the end caps through.

Am I looking for a Spicer 5-153x or 1310 u joint rather than one for a TJ ?????
Post by: Anonymous on January 08, 2006, 02:24:22 PM
I need help !!!!!
Post by: trent on January 08, 2006, 04:30:58 PM
If it helps,
I have a 153x greasable, and a 760x non-greasable uj.
If you need one quickly you can use what you need and just give me a replacement back when you get your order through!

Fortunately, I'm in no rush as I have the nutty car as transport, just want to make sure I order the right bits coz I'll get shit from the girly if I get the wrong ones.... :)
Mad4wd seem to do the exact bits I want for $10 for the 153x and $20 for the 297x / 760x one.... dunno if they ship to the UK, but failing that, I'll get them land shipped to our US office and call in a favour...

Do I need to order these boot clips (is it advisable) or will a couple of good quality cable ties or jubilee clips do the job nicely??

They're very good, I use 'em all the time. Shipping to UK is no problem.

. Might be worth checking if they fit the TJ, could be a real cheap fix (and useful longer term for other members!).

Monday, Tried MountainJacks and "Jeep4x4Centre", MJs never got back to me despite chasing them :( Spoke to chap at Jeep4x4, he got me to email him with what I was after... never heard from him either.....
Bit the bullet on Tuesday and went to my local Lardy place.... No joy there... And ordered them from Lighthouse (~£24 each)
Arrived yesters to banged them in last night (well, pushed them in) The One at the diff end had two pins that were ~ 40% smaller than the other two pins and distinctly oval in appearance
I think if I had floored it, then it may and said goodbye... The cups were pretty worn too... Tis fun trying to get those clips back in the second side ain't it :) Only confession is that I ended up down my mechanics with the shaft to use his vice as with the shaft and two sockets, I needed something fairly large.... but I did the work myself.... I finally have smooth pullaway again.....
