Jeep WK Double Cardan Rear Drive Shaft
The double cardan shaft is what you need if your Jeep Grand Cherokee WK is lifted and you are having rear drive shaft vibrations as a result.
The 2005-2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee came with a poorly designed stock rear drive shaft. The large diameter aluminum shaft is vulnerable to rock damage. The plastic boot is easy to tear. Worst of all, the non-greaseable universal joints are not replaceable, someone had the great idea to permanently stake them into the shaft. The only way to replace the joint is to replace the entire shaft. Ours is different, ours is made from steel. The Tom Wood's WK rear drive shaft comes with joints that are not only greaseable but are also replaceable. This shaft will also fit an XK Commander.

Jeep WK rear drive shaft lengths vary a bit and we want to make sure you get the right thing. That is why we require a length measurement before building the shaft. Measuring is simple and easy. Just measure the length of the stock shaft as shown in the photo above. It is important that you measure this with the stock shaft still installed in the jeep.
If your Jeep is is not lifted at all or if it is not lifted more than 2-3 inches you do not need a double cardan shaft. Instead you should consider our conventional rear drive shaft.
