: Can I have a Front CV DR Shaft Cut for Rear? YJRockBuggy 02-06-2002, 01:41 PM I have found a Front CV drive shaft off of a wagoneer. Is it possible to have this cut down for a rear cv dr. shaft on a YJ? The shaft is kinda small in diameter but the Ujoint is the same. Shouldnt a local company be ably to put a bigger tube or re-enforce the shaft for a rear aplication. THis would be much cheaper than a terra low shaft or tom woods. welndmn 02-06-2002, 01:46 PM It will run backwards! A CV is a CV, front or rear who cares, my front drive shaft used to be my rear drive shaft Bert 02-06-2002, 02:48 PM Yep it will work, I am thinking 'bout going junk yard shopping for 2 right now. I need a spare front and rear. ranger 02-06-2002, 02:51 PM Its hard to find a good driveshaft in the junkyard, normally the forklift fawks em up....:skull: onetoncv 02-06-2002, 08:37 PM the main problem is the weaker 1 1/4 tube and weld diamters being small - try to find a 2" tube and see if you can look inside and see the ball and socket -if its black its bad- if its shinny then most likley its in pretty good condition- also try geasing the center needle on the c/v and see if greace comes out the vent hole on the other side- if you need pic's i'll post them up- good luck- Jess Mr.N 02-06-2002, 08:45 PM Jess, We need pics of that.
