CV Joint conversion from xjtalk.com show

[Weldmen]

OK as per the show on 01-26-2011. The question about U-joint axle verses CV joint front shafts. Well here are the parts that I found for this conversion at Oriely's Auto. I think these are the correct ones for my 95 XJ Dana 30 27 spline. These are from a 95 Grand Cherokee Dana 30 27 spline.
I think these will work. Anyone wanna double check this for me. I'm gonna do the conversion on my rig in the next week or 2.

Well please correct me if I am wrong, isnt the u joint style much better than the CV style in the front?? or Did I just read your post wrong.

yeah i alway thought cv in the front. i have a cv in the front of my rig and its fine.

I dunno, but they look like my shafts :D

They should work. Not real sure why you want stock CV axles on the front though. Just find a ZJ write up for where they swap from CV's to U-Joints, and do the opposite lol

One thing you should be aware of is that the shafts are not as strong on the CV as the U joint. They neck the shaft down on the OEM. If you look at the pics, you can see it on the end that goes into the CV. So if you are looking at any hard core wheeling, then you need to go to some expensive ones. But if you are just doing general wheeling or highway snow driving then these should do the trick.
