D30 Front Axle? Here's a good start: http://www.wranglerforum.com/f282/front-axle-u-joint-removal-67699.html

They link to Stu's site, which shows you how to pull the axle shafts http://www.stu-offroad.com/axle/d30/axle-1.htm and how to replace a ujoint http://www.stu-offroad.com/axle/ujoint1/u-joint-1.htm

There's a great trick (with pic) for removing the hub/shafts: http://www.cherokeeforum.com/f2/problems-replacing-wheel-bearing-hub-28951/

Spicer 5-760x is more durable than the stock 5-297, under $24 shipped with amazon prime: http://www.amazon.com/Spicer-5-760X-U-Joint-Kit/dp/B009X1XDZG

Over on rockauto, search "DANA HOLDING CORP Part # 5760X Spicer" $21.89 plus shipping.

to compare, $29.99 on qtec: http://www.quadratec.com/products/52302_102.htm also to verify fit.

Short version: unbolt and pull the entire hub/shaft, press out old one, press in new one, put it back together.

Edit: Just remembered matt at bleepinjeep has done a few vids on ujoints: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aE9aNHFehqw

You might be going through what I am now with my TJ. Good chance you have a front u-joint going.

Willing to bet steering feels a little stiff (more feedback than usual) despite proper levels in the power steering system and seems to ease up when straight.

Got myself a pair of these today via Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009X1XDZG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Heads up if you have Prime, order the "single" twice instead of the 2-pack. For whatever reason they'll allow two singles to ship for free but not as a two pack.

It's a good idea to upgrade to that style. Here's the spicer one I got when my passenger side ujoint went bad

I fixed the link. Thanks for the response. Am i correct in understanding that size doesn't matter here And that I can use the same for Axel and driveshaft joints?

Also I used the two sockets method with a 4 lb hammer to change them

Here you go, I'm going to be doing mine as well.

Get you some anti-seize while you're at it. Gonna want it on your hubs and hub bolts after you put them back in place. You will need a 13mm 12-point socket for the job.
