My front drive shaft joint that connects to the transfer case is beat. Boot ripped and I didn't notice. All the grease dried out and the joint has a terrible amount of play. Dealer says it is specific to the CRD and it is only sold as a one pice unit for $500.00. Does anyone know if they are able to be sent out and rebuilt, or alternative/aftermarket units available? Anyone have one in good shape ey want to sell?

Thanks in advance.

There's a kit, it's about $90. I don't have a chance to look it up right now, but I think I got mine at Summit with free shipping. The only parts you want to get from a dealer are ones that are free from a warranty.

No prob! I had my driveshaft out all winter. Just got it replaced using this kit. Was really easy to do and shipping was fast.

more choices of price and quality on ebay. make sure you order the right one (front or rear) as they have different thickness. Good luck

Strangely there is a few choice on ebay uk not sure of the quality, but for the price it should last a while.
I bought one a few weeks ago, will mount it tomorrow.
Here is one link
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BRAND-NEW-JEE ... 0644369772

If you interested, we can check the transportation to the us.

Yeah dude. I would just go with Driveshaftparts.com like everyone else does. Proven reputation and proven parts. Skip the eBay stuff. Most parts on eBay are garbage, few are good. It's not worth finding out which you'll get.
