Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ Front Driveshaft 52105884AA

This is a complete front driveshaft assembly for the 2002-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ with the 4.0L inline six. It replaces Mopar part number 52105884AA (cross reference 65-9767) and bolts in between the transfer case output flange and the front axle pinion yoke.

The WJ front shaft uses a constant velocity joint at the transfer case end and a 1310 U-joint at the axle end. The usual failures are a split CV boot that throws grease and lets grit into the joint, or a dry U-joint that clicks on takeoff and vibrates in 4WD. Once the CV joint is contaminated, a new shaft is usually quicker and cheaper than rebuilding the old one.

Install: set the parking brake, mark nothing (the new shaft is balanced as an assembly), unbolt the flange at the transfer case and the U-joint straps at the axle, drop the old shaft, and fit the new one. Measure your old shaft first: this one is 33.27 in. compressed and 35.63 in. extended, measured end to end.
