Oh ya, its for an 03' Rubicon 5speed

Look up part # 52853404AE and it comes up with a "SHAFT DRIVE" with an MSRP of $250, their price is $172.50. There is no picture, and no other information.

That is the one I ordered, and it fit perfectly...

OK I was looking at that but didnt know for sure, Did it come with u-joints and complete

Yeah, that was everything, assembled ready to bolt right up. Took 10 minutes to install once I got it. I found that number on ROF, and verified it in an AAM catalog.

Cool thanks

Did you already order? I think mine is making a funny squealing noise once and a while!

Nope not yet probably soon though

Funny squeeling noises means you probably have a dry CV centering ball. They cost about $60, and are not too hard to replace. I've done it on my old front shaft. While you're disassembling, I'd replace the other 2 u-joints at the CV end at the same time (they're about $15 each). If you also replace the pinion end (a little harder because you have to melt out the plastic clips), you are looking at around $110 for a completely rebuilt shaft. Not a bad way to go if the splines are okay on your old shaft. If the splines are showing any signs of looseness, then just buy a whole new shaft for around $195 shipped...

Bill, do you have the part numbers handy? Thanks!

I don't remember now what the part numbers are, but give David (Northridge4x4) a call. When I needed them, he didn't have them in stock, but said he would start stocking them, so he probably has them now. I bought them locally at Olympic, and they sold me the right centering ball kit, but the wrong wrong u-joints. I kept the u-joints, because they are the right ones for the axles (Spicer 5-760X), so I have spares for my axles. I ended up not using the centering ball kit, because I figured out the splines were bad before I did the rebuild. So now I have a spare centering ball kit.

I did rebuild the shaft about 2 years ago though, and that time I just went to Napa with a bunch of spicer numbers I got from a thread on ROF, and they cross referenced them to whatever brand they had in stock. Whatever it was they sold me worked fine.

Argh!! I waited too long to order allchrystlerparts is OUT OF BUSINESS
So I ordered one from David today, its a coast and was $314.89 and will be at my house on Wednesday
