Is there an alternative, maybe better, to replace the shaft on a 2006 Liberty Renegade. Mine is about to go and I wonder if the only place to call is the dealer.

Thanks

Replace just the head on the rear if the boot has gone and the bearings are bad, 80 bucks or so and a few minutes of your time

Apparantly I am out of luck. The yoke is worn slap out and requires a new shaft. I think I am getting the shaft. Over $500. 160K miles later......I hope to make it through the weekend since MOPAR won't have it in until Monday.

Chunks or the head of the shaft were missing. I am not sure what was holding it on. It is almost as if the shaft were dropped during the clutch replacement a while back. I can't imagine what would have caused what I saw.
