DII Front Propshaft Rebuild - Part Available?

[TagHeuer]

So I just completed a front prop shaft removal and am moving into a rebuild. I now have a parts question that I can't find an answer for.

Although I haven't taken anything apart yet, the flange that connects to the transfer box looks like it is fractured/chipped (where the universal joint is seated).

Does anyone know if this individual component is available for sale? I'm hoping this doesn't force me into buying a new shaft when this one is in good shape.

Put the pics on a photo sharing site and link them here. You can't upload pics to Dweb anymore.

Good to know! Link has been added to the initial post.

Looks like the cap in the ujoint is broken, not the flange.

It does look like the cap is broken. I just looked at my old shaft and it looks like yours is ok.

I appreciate the verification guys. I'll go forward with the rebuild and follow-up with more questions/pics once I break the shaft down.

I have heard durango and or dakota front shafts are an identical replacement unit

they arent. stop spreading wrong info.


OP make sure to replace the center ball as well. it is easy and cheap to have a reputable driveline shop overhaul it with spicer or neapco's.

Kyle, Do you know a good shop in DFW? I've got my old one that was rebuilt by Robert and I (mostly Robert) in the woods with some neosporin for grease (its the only thing we had at the time).

I'm running Tom Woods now, so don't expect a problem, just have the old one laying around that I should probably get rebuilt

I said "I heard" I did not assure because I have never used them, it is up to the end user to find out the fact just in case he or she may develop interest on a lead...
