PARTS AND TOOL LINKS: • NOTE: Any Amazon links will be through our Amazon Affiliates link - so Vortex Garage may get a small commission from that. However I do want to point out that I only post things I have used, or would use assuming the orignial isn't available, or as an alternate option. I do not currently have any product sponsors or do any product placement - things I link to are things I've bought or would buy if alternatives. • -----PARTS FOR FRONT DOUBLE CARDAN SHAFT:----- • Front U-Joint: • SPICER 5-153X U-Joint / 1310 Series • https://amzn.to/3S52UVc • NOTE: In the video, I had three of these - one I used in the front driveshaft at the diff side, and the other two for the rear driveshaft. You CAN technically use these in the double cardan joint (as I understand) though I used MOOG 269s instead. I think the large greasefitting on these may interfere so if you use them you'll probably want to get low profile grease fittings or install caps when in use. If you did use them successfully, leave a comment and share if they work with the grease caps they include! • Double-Joint U-Joints: • MOOG 269 • https://amzn.to/4eZTWlE • NOTE: 2 are needed for the cardan joint. • Spicer 211544X Socket Yoke Assembly (1 needed) • https://amzn.to/3XY95Op • Slinger - DL-SP-1310-1330-1350-SLINGER • Also known as: Spicer 2-86-418 Seal • https://amzn.to/4bFRVrY • NOTE: The long form part number has been hard to find - it appears in some research that 2-86-418 is the same part. • Strap and Bolts for Joints (Can use originals, but if needed replacement) • MOOG 437-10 Universal Joint Strap Kit for Jeep Grand Cherokee • https://amzn.to/3XVMGBm • • ----- PARTS FOR CV FRONT DRIVESHAFT: ----- • U-Joint at Diff Side: • SPICER 5-153X U-Joint / 1310 Series (1 needed) • https://amzn.to/3S52UVc • CV Joint: • Used in Video: Driveshaftparts.com ME807 - it is still in service with many miles on it: • https://www.driveshaftparts.com/ME807 • This appears to be the actual Dana/Spicer Part - but I haven't used it, but it sounds like it is: • https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.... • or to find sources to purchase: • https://www.danaaftermarket.com/spice... • Strap and Bolts for Joints (Can use originals, but if needed replacement) • MOOG 437-10 Universal Joint Strap Kit for Jeep Grand Cherokee • https://amzn.to/3XVMGBm • • ----- PARTS FOR REAR UJOINT DRIVESHAFT: ----- • U-Joints - (2 needed) • SPICER 5-153X U-Joint / 1310 Series • https://amzn.to/3S52UVc • Strap and Bolts for Diff Side (Can use original, but if needed replacement) • MOOG 437-10 Universal Joint Strap Kit for Jeep Grand Cherokee • https://amzn.to/3XVMGBm • • ----- TOOLS: ----- • Banding tool (stlye used in video): • GEARWRENCH CV Joint Boot Clamp Tightening Wrench - 3191D • https://amzn.to/4bCCHnU • The kit I received used the long bands needing this type of tool. • If you have the crimp bands, you'll want this one: • GEARWRENCH CV Boot Clamp Tool - 3955 • https://amzn.to/3XSSN9D • It's great to have BOTH in the shop.
