Anyone have a spare TJ front driveshaft in good (not bent) condition, that they want to part with?

Or does anyone know how much it would cost to get mine straightened out and rebalanced??

Sorry one is 24" and the other is bent. I know Beaumont is out of your way but there is a good shop in Beaumont. Drive shaft Specialties. Give Bud a call 409 842-1700. He retubed both shafts in the Yellow Jeep for around 100. each and tubed the rear shaft in my CJ. I think Stout trout and Dirty ole Man have used him too

I've got a stock front TJ driveshaft. It was balanced when I took it out. The u-joints may need grease. It has been sitting in the garage for a couple years.

What do you want for it? I stuck mine back in because I'm going wheeling this weekend.. and it doesn't start to vibrate until I hit about 55-60 mph.. and that's not that often, so it's not really a big issue, I'd just like to have a good one some day... LOL

Bump! Anyone have one? Mine is getting worse.

I've searched for them from time to time to have as a spare and never find them, not even on eBay. The reason is they normally don't have to be replaced when lifting a jeep, so very few people have OEM front shafts laying around.

ETA: my searches have been for Rubicon shafts.

Yeah, I kinda figure that... I know some folks that do 1 ton swaps end up getting custom shafts..

I'm in the process of this right now, so I should have mine out in the next week or so.
