Anyone replaced their slip yoke? Apparently, mine has some worn splines due to some vibrations I had (due to a bad pinion bearing) and it now needs to be replaced. I get clunks slowing down to a stop. I'm ordering one and will go at it but if anyone has done it before and can provide any tips? |

Did you actually inspect your SY splines for wear or play? Your symptoms could also indicate a U-joint is going bad. I've never replaced the SY shaft, but I imagine you just take the front UJ apart and then install the new shaft. And while you're at it, replace the UJ with a new greaseable UJ. JW |

that is good advice, but yes, I have already replaced the u-joints with greasable and had it rebalanced as well. I cannot see any excessive wear on the SY so I do find it hard to believe, however my problem is still there and with u-joints replaced and gearing checked it's the next logical step. Plus the jeep dealer has says that's what it is too - they won't replace it under warrenty because I have "tampared" with the driveshaft (u-joints are wearable items they wouldn't of replaced anyway) plus my vechile is modified i.e. lift.... and yeah, they wouldn't replace the pinion bearing either. |

Bummer about no warranty coverage. Guess you're on the right track. All I can say is check out the splines and bearings within the SY tailhousing on the transfer case, ie. the female end. I've never worked on a transfer case, but I think you can unbolt and remove just the tailhousing. Good luck! JW |
