Just did this on a 2012 Grand Cherokee last week.... Didn't realize there were 100 different driveshaft length options and no one had the correct length I needed lol

[@hopfammedia]

Whoa... where did you finally come across the right one?

[@JohnnyAnderson1]

@@hopfammedia it's still sitting in my yard.

[@hopfammedia]

So, your still seeking a replacement?

[@hopfammedia]

Ours was sourced at Summit Racing. Fortunately, we did not run into a choice on lengths. Their system chose it for us based On Year, Make, Model, Engine, Drivetrain/4wd. Hope this helps!

6:38 I’ve never heard of the transfer case loosening on these. Do you remember where it was loose and what needed to be tightened?

[@hopfammedia]

Hi @maxrfinch. Each bolt that fastens the chunk was finger tight. It's as if someone inspected, then slightly put it back expecting to finish up later.

[@joshtamang-mo3jg]

Good job. Just curious how much to replace it ?

[@hopfammedia]

Thanks @joshtamang-mo3jg! The shaft (link in the description) cost us a little over $500

[@SuperMAZ007]

Some BMW have the same setup as seen in the videos.. Also kind of stupid that you have to replace the entire driveshaft just for that one leaking o-ring. I'm glad you got it out, some car manufacturers make it so crammed that you need also to take the exhaust off. Not a huge deal with a new car but a when it's all rusted it's not so pleasant. Well done you all.

[@hopfammedia]

Thank you @SuperMAZ006. The planned obsolescence for future repairs is something to behold. Thanks for posting!

[@spasticslug2932]

You lost points with me when you said you don't have a torque wrench and you're doing it by "muscle memory". You don't 3/8" inch-lb torque wrench? Sure you can feel when the bolt is snugging up, but I've yet to find a mechanic who gets the torque anywhere close doing it by feel.

[@hopfammedia]

Ok... Good to know! We have torque wrenches for the heavy stuff, just not a good one for the light stuff. Appreciate your post!
