Is the front driveshaft of a jeep wrangler supposed to turn about 1/4 of a
full turn when in park? I saw yours turn, but not sure if it was the bad
u-joint or not. I’ve been experiencing a rattling noise under my jeep when
i drive, and at first i thought it was just my hi-lift jack rattling but
after i took it off my car still made the rattling noise, wondering if you
can provide me with any advice as to what to check or test. And thanks for
all your videos, they really do help.

I’m glad that I stumbled across this video cause I also have a 90 YJ and
she needs some work done. Would love to learn how to do it myself without
having to take the jeep to a shop for the everyday work that can be done by
myself.

You’re amazing! I have YJ of my own had some questions, you have the
answers and how to info. Thank you so much, God Bless.

Thanks, I needed a confirmation on procedure without a press. I have a fair
amount of engine experience, but this YJ is the first time I’ve had to work
with suspension :)

Awesome video.I have a query and I hope that you can help.
Okay,here’s my dilemma: Transfer case shifts fine into 4 H,N,and
4L.However,on 2H,I am not able to turn the front drivehaft by hand more
than 10 percent of a revolution.Also,drive front shaft does not turn if the
jeep is rolled which appears to suggest that the problem is not in the
vacuum disconnects.Occasionally,there will be a clunky noise in 2H and a
quick shift to 4H and back to 2H will solve the problem.The TC is NP 231 J
(YJ Renegade).in the past I distinctly remember of being able to turn front
driveshaft freely by hand when in 2H.My confusion is that if the TC is not
turning the driveshaft in 2H while driving normally (as it appears) how
come its still connected to it in 2h?Please advise!

Great vid, had to figure this out mostly on my own lol when i first
replaced those joints. A bit of advice. Throw in a steel wire brush in your
trail kit, some sandpaper and coper grease. After the old joint is out
clean that yoke with the steelbrush and gently sand the inside where the
cup goes untill all the rust is gone. Then coper grease it and you can just
push the new joint and cups in by hand without the use of a hamer and no
worries about getting sand grains in the new needle bearings. Just works
that much cleaner and easier.
