How to grease the Slip Yoke on your Jeep Cherokee XJ

In this video, I’m greasing the slip yoke on my 1996 Jeep Cherokee 4x4. This is a simple job and won’t take you very long, assuming you don’t break the bolts. Be very careful when taking them off and I would recommend using some sort of penetrating fluid on them first. Some people say to use anti seize instead of grease on the splines, but I just opted to use grease as I didn’t have a bunch of anti seize around. I’ve been driving around for over a week and about 170 miles and my clunk when braking has completely gone away! Be sure to like and subscribe and if you have any questions, feel free to put them in the comments section and I will try my best to respond. Also, if you break anything on your Jeep, I’m not responsible! I’m just simply doing a tutorial video.
Grease used- Sta-Lube Extreme pressure Moly-Graph grease, made by CRC
Size of bolts- 8MM
Torque for bolts- 14 foot pounds, in the video I just tightened them to what I thought was appropriate, I later went back in and torque them properly, they were pretty close to 14 foot pounds.

Thank's for the great video, I've had a clunk for 20 years, I bet the drive shaft has never been done.

Nice video mate. Thanks. My 08 ranger had a similar gap in the splines but a matching one on the other side so o lay one way to get back on. Slowed me down 5 mins until I worked that out haha

Check your track bar up front & replace it if necessary to cure your wobble..I've owned 6 XJs & 3 Grand Cherokees it's a common wear item that centers the front axle, they are pretty cheap for a stock one.Have a good one.

Thanks. I will check it out.

My xj gets a clunk every time I put it in drive. Do you think this might fix it?

[@Pondsisawesome124]

Should at least help it

[@aaronabney8924]

Maybe im tired but is that a huge hole in your axle? Anybody seeing this

[@JeffjustJeff5117]

Nah he legit has a MASSIVE hole in the rear axle

I have a 96 Laredo, any grease fittings down there I need to worry about? Ty!

[@Pondsisawesome124]

The only grease fittings are on the front driveshaft, and the front suspension. The track bar has a grease fitting, along with both ends of the drag link, also both ends of the tie rod.
