uuh...no.....since there is only one...what U joint?
Since there is only one isn't it obvious...Don't worry about it. I found a decent how to so I can replace mine.

You all know there are 2 u-joints on a KJ right? If you want to get technical there are 4 u-joints right from the factory.
Nope,not on the front driveshaft,look closely under the hood and you will find the other 2 u-joints(hint look at the lower drivers side front area).I thought only 2 on the rear shaft, are there u-joints on the front shaft as well? I thought people were starting to do u-joint conversions on the front?
The other 2 u-joints are the 2 on the steering shaft,same for all years of KJ's.Section 3-9 of the 2006 FSM shows the U-Joints on the rear propeller shaft... The front shaft joints are covered with rubber boots, and are being called CV joints, not U-Joints. This is for the 2006 so, it may be different for older models?
The other 2 u-joints are the 2 on the steering shaft,same for all years of KJ's.
U-joints on the steering shaft, sure, but the poster was referring to drive-line shafts right? For which there are only two, on the main drive shaft, the front is CV Joints. The poster wants to know how hard it is to replace the U-joints, well, I would have concluded he only meant drive-shaft ones.
Thanks man, I was referring to the driveshaft. I did replace the U-joint over the weekend and wow, what a difference. No more vibes.
SO, how hard are they to replace? I was looking at the FSM, and it looks like it's easier than on older vehicles. They pop out once you remove the cap? Then put the new ones in, and put the caps back on?
