I have a 2000 Jeep tj with the I6 4.0 and a 32rh transmission. I’m planning on replacing all the joints in my front drive shaft (it started chirping) and while I’m down there I thought I would do the rear as well. Does anyone know what Spicer joints I need to get?
 
When doing the front the critical joint is the cardan- be sure to do it. You can drive it with the shaft out to make sure the noise is gone also.
 
If it still has OE joints some are held in with plastic instead of clips. If it has no clips, you will need a torch. Small MAP torch will do it.
 
The front has a centering yoke in addition to the ujoints that you want to replace I think
