Front Drive Shaft

1975 CJ5 - My front shaft is getting some slop around the splines... what options do I have for replacement? Can I buy a different year?

 

Have a drive line shop rebuild it, thay can put a new slip and stub on your old tube.

I had seen some new purchases were $300-350 online. I'm not sure if I have a driveline shop in central michigan...you think I would but nothing comes to mind...

 

some machine shops do this type of work as well.

 

I had a machine shop re do my drive shaft. THey ended up being more expensive than a brand new tom woods shaft. THey are very reasonable, and I'd encourage you to call them for and estimate first.

 

I had a heavy duty front drive shaft built for $145 here in Dallas. The rear was $250 but that included the CV joint and rear yoke for the dana 20.

 

Where at in central MI? How far from Bay City? These guys do really good work at a reasonable price.
