Can a jeep run without a front drive shaft?
But as I posted earlier there is no benefit to running without it in a GC unless you have a bad shaft and still need your wheels. There is no viscous coupling in a 247 T-case, but a progressive coupling. I did remove my front propeller shaft for some weeks awaiting a new CV joint and my T-case is still ok.
Why do I get jerkys on my front drive shaft?
Currently, when vehicle sits overnight or several hours, I get the jerkys when making a turn or two with the steering wheel. I had a shop look at the transfer case fluid and it was contaminated. Changed the fluid, but still have the jerkys, but not as bad.

Front Drive shaft ? I have a 2004 Grand Cherokee Overland and was wondering if I could remove my front drive shaft without couseing problems with the transmission or transfer case ? it is a quadraa drive setup. I was wanting to see if the fuel mileage would improve?
What happens when the front drive shaft is removed?
Once the front drive shaft is removed, then you trash your transfer case. I did this with a ’96 ZJ 249 t-case with no ill effects because I had to get the shaft rebuilt and it was my only vehicle.
Is the front drive shaft the same on a Jeep Wrangler?
Those extra 20.6” of wheel base have a dramatic impact when it comes to stance, handling, lift modification, and most importantly, driveshafts. The front half of the Jeep is the same between both models, therefore the length of the front drive shaft and angles when the Jeep is lifted are all the same.
How often should I Grease my Jeep Wrangler driveshaft?
Greasing the front end driveshaft and running your Jeep in 4-wheel drive at least 30 minutes monthly slows front driveshaft wear even if you usually use 2-wheel drive. Installing an aftermarket performance shaft prepares the way for adding a lift kit at a later date. So What’s the Difference Between Two-Door & Four-Door JKs?
When do I need to upgrade my Wrangler’s drive shaft?
An exhaust spacer can be used to provide enough clearance, but a new thinner drive shaft is often a better solution. A stock driveshaft may actually rip free of the transfer case output or differential input such as when clambering over obstacles like rock slabs, steep stream banks, or large boulders when the suspension “stretches.”
Why are the driveshafts on my Jeep TJ not working?
The problem is generally the result of poor lubrication, but age may also be an issue, especially if you take your TJ off the beaten path. Factory-built Jeep Wrangler TJ drive shafts and u-joints are simply not designed to withstand the rigors of off-roading and may wear out in short order.
