In case you haven't figured out why everyone's breaking your balls - it's "double cardan" - NOT "double cardigan".

thanks for the help.
did find the centering ball... the kragen autozone pep boys in my area suk... or i should say their people do.... oh thanks for the correction.... "double cardan".... got it... has anyone seen the rubber sleeve or dust boot that is on theirs (tj)?.... they keep telling me their isnt one but i beg to differ because there is still reminents of it located on mine... and im not talking about the seal for the centering ball... any more help greatly appreciated.... could have paid the driveline shop to do it but whats the fun in that... i mean then i wouldnt get to remove my skid to drop the driveline and spend time all greasy and cussing :mad3: at the dam thing. whats not to love!

thean

maybe if i wrap the drive shaft in double cardigans it will muffle the screaching noise enough to not bother me. :flipoff2:
