What This Driveshaft Helps Address

  • Front driveline vibration at road speed
  • Worn or noisy U-joint operation related to imbalance
  • Incorrect shaft length for the listed Jeep transfer case and axle setup
  • Wear from dry slip yoke movement
  • Loss of smooth power transfer through the front driveline

Installation Notes

Verify the collapsed measurement from U-joint centerline to U-joint centerline before ordering. Confirm transfer case type and axle configuration, since this part is listed for specific Jeep Cherokee, Grand Cherokee, Comanche, and Wagoneer front driveline applications. Part number 65-9776 should be matched to the vehicle’s exact driveline setup for proper fit.

For buyers searching Jeep Cherokee front driveshaft replacement, Jeep Grand Cherokee front prop shaft, or a 30-1/2 inch Jeep driveshaft for Dana 30 axle applications, Cardone 65-9776 is the direct OE-style replacement to compare against. This part cross-references no listed alternate part numbers for the same application.

Quality Assurance

Cardone engineers and tests prop shafts to meet OE performance targets, then dynamically balances each unit for vibration-free operation across the speed range. The remanufactured construction and lubricated slip yokes are used to support consistent driveline performance in service.
