Driveshaftology:The Ins and Outs of Driveshafts and U-Joints

We’re Not Rocket DoctorsU-joints are simply awesome! Why? They allow rotational forces to be transmitted around corners. U-joints, Rezeppa-joints, Double Cardan-joints, and CV-joints all allow your driveshafts and axleshafts to spin and your tires to turn. Sounds technical, huh? Not really. It’s actually pretty simple, but if a U-joint or driveshaft is unhappy so is your Jeep. And without addressing the problem you soon will be too! We recently lifted our blue and grey ’01 WJ Laredo with a 6-inch Clayton Off Road long-arm suspension and as a result had to play the game of adjusting pinion angles, driveshaft style, and length in an attempt to make a much taller and more capable off-road vehicle drive down the road without sounding like a DC-3 fighting for altitude.
