I was going to change my uv joint today and when I pulled it apart the axle shaft both sides of the uv joint was tore up. Been to several parts houses and no one carries the front, only rear. Any one know where to get one or have one to sell? Have to go to work monday so I got big issues here. its an 89 wrangler
Thanks

are you sure your asking for the axle u joint and not the driveshaft u joint, not sure what you mean by them only having the rear...
 
he is speaking of the front axle shaft , i believe.
 
Yes, front axle shaft. It is two pieces joined by the u joint. long end has teeth on it goes into axle, u joint then short piece which is the end that protrudes through the center of the hub. Seems to be known more commonly as front axle shaft assembly. Any input or ideas. Checked 4wd hardware, jc whitney and cant afford that much right now.

Just to get you by, you should be able to pull out the long axle shaft and go without it to get you to work. On the YJ I use to have, I broke the ears off the long shaft on a trail ride once and pulled it out and drove it home.
 
Done

Well I ended up going to Wilson 4X4 in Fayeteville, they had me out of there in 10 minutes ith the whole assembly for 40 bucks. Very nice shop, took me around to see some of the jeeps they were building. It was a good experience and I will return there.
Job is now done and I am cleaning up.
