:newbie: 97 ZJ. I noticed the front cv axle shaft boots on this truck were torn, wife took an 800 mile trip and when she came back the truck was making a clunking noise everytime she turned. So I went to my buddy at LAS CRUCES UNDER CAR PARTS and he rebuilt them for $140.00 both. Put them back on and the same clunking noise was still exactly the same, so I drove the truck to that same buddy and he said the differential assembly needed an overhaul. I took the truck to the lot I bought it from and told them about in needing a new front diff. They agreed to take it to their personal mechanic shop. Next day I got a call from their mechanic and he said the truck was ready. I picked up the truck and the clunking was gone, he did not overhaul the diff but told me the front drive shaft was rebuilt! The lot made me give them $140.00 and I agreed, they said it was half of the cost of the repair, I thought it was fair. I took the truck home and inspected the front end, it looked like they put new u-joints on the doubled cardan by the t-case, but the cv joint boot at the diff did not look new at all. Should I worry about it? Should I get a cv to u-joint coversion done to the front drive shaft? Is this possible? The truck is pretty much stock except for the red spacers between the springs(cheap lift???)I've been giving the truck some hell and seems to take it pretty good. Any suggestions?
