PARTS AND TOOL LINKS:

NOTE: Any Amazon links will be through our Amazon Affiliates link so Vortex Garage may get a small commission from that. However I do want to point out that I only post things I have used, or would use assuming the orignial isn't available, or as an alternate option. I do not currently have any product sponsors or do any product placement things I link to are things I've bought or would buy if alternatives.

PARTS FOR FRONT DOUBLE CARDAN SHAFT:

Front UJoint:
SPICER 5153X UJoint / 1310 Series
https://amzn.to/3S52UVc'>https://amzn.to/3S52UVc'>https://amzn.to/3S52UVc'>https://amzn.to/3S52UVc
NOTE: In the video, I had three of these one I used in the front driveshaft at the diff side, and the other two for the rear driveshaft. You CAN technically use these in the double cardan joint (as I understand) though I used MOOG 269s instead. I think the large greasefitting on these may interfere so if you use them you'll probably want to get low profile grease fittings or install caps when in use. If you did use them successfully, leave a comment and share if they work with the grease caps they include!

DoubleJoint UJoints:
MOOG 269

NOTE: 2 are needed for the cardan joint.

TOOLS:
Banding tool (stlye used in video):

GEARWRENCH CV Joint Boot Clamp Tightening Wrench 3191D

The kit I received used the long bands needing this type of tool.

If you have the crimp bands, you'll want this one:

It's great to have BOTH in the shop. But if you want an alternative, I haven't used these but they seem to have good reviews:

Video Description
On this episode of Vortex Garage, it's Part 1 of our Jeep WJ Driveshaft Special! In the driveshaft special, we're going to get into the details of the different types of WJ driveshafts you'll find, the pro's and con's of each, tips to upgrade to a double cardan, and more!

In Part one, we also rebuild two front WJ driveshafts one with an Rzeppa (CV) joint and fixed yoke, and the other with a double cardan joint and fixed yoke.

In Part 2 (coming soon) we will rebuild rear driveshafts from both a 4.0l WJ and a 4.7l WJ, and install all these driveshafts...
