Re: [Amc-list] [strokers] XJ axle joint saga.

[Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I got it all together and up and running.
Problem is he beat the snot out of the one axle stub. I got it together, but really need to replace it.
Anyone got an exle stub for an 97 up?
It's the larger 760 joint one. 
I just need a stock one that has not been mangled. Would take a whole drivers side axle if I have too.
Passenger side he did OK, just beat the edge of the hub up some.
 I got brake vibration pretty bad now. I filed the hub edges flat too. I gure I'm going to have to replace the hubs and resurface the rotors.
  Thats what I get for trying to keep the money in the family :[ This is going to be the most expensive cheap repair I ever had done!
  I wish I had done it myself. I really don't need this right now.
We'll probably drive it as-is for while, till I can gather up the parts to fix it.
  If anyone has that stub, I'd like to get it replaced fairly soon.
Crap he used to do good work. when I get the stub shaft, I guess I can set up my dial indicator and check the runout on the hubs. I'm betting they are toast though.

Thanks!
