So I purchased an aftermarket rear driveshaft with a double cardan joint for my unlimited Rubicon. I've had it for about 6 years.
I contacted the manufacturer for a rebuild kit since the CV is squeaking and motion is not smooth. The ball looked dry (non greasable).
Anyway, the response from said manufacturer was to ship the whole driveshaft back to them and after they looked at it they could assess and determine cost.
Anyway, looking for sanity check that this is necessary. I figured a rebuild kit might be offered but sounds like the CV part is in the flange side and after replacing or rebuilding the shaft would need rebalanced. Any recommendations from someone in the know or who has gone through this before? Thanks
