Rebuild front driveshaft yolk?

[Siwash89]

Going to rebuild my front driveshaft. I was curious about the rebuild kit for the centering yolk versus just buying the whole new centering yolk. Seems the dennys driveshaft kits come with the complete centering yolk. I ordered from rock auto and they only showed the ball rebuild kit. Did i get the wrong part? Photo is example of both parts.

Yea, im aware of those parts.

The question is about rebuilding a centering yolk versus buying the complete assembly. Do you have experience rebuilding them?

I've rebuilt them. It's a minor pain in the ass but a completely doable process.

I'd order your parts from Tom Woods or Adam's Driveshaft. They're on the west coast. Faster cheaper shipping. I'd just call them rather than use their websites.

Rebuilding the centering yoke is pointless if the pin is worn.

I already got the parts from rock auto. Im not in a rush, and if the centering yolk looks bad i will just order it and return the rebuild ball. The shaft is in great condition, the jeep has 36k miles. I just noticed a little play and being its 25 years old i want to rebuild it, rather than have issues.
