Should I replace the u-joints or the entire axle shafts?

[SlimKasey]

Just got word the stock U-joints on my JK Dana 30 are going. Lots of clicking and play. Is it better or easier to replace the U-joints? Or replace the axles? Not a lot of off-roads, thoughts?

Depends if you got the money. U-joints part is about 150 bucks. Why not go change axle to D44? might as well if you are loaded.

Unemployed, so not loaded

No brainer - go and buy a set of u-joints from this forum Amazon.

If you have the money, upgrade the axle shafts at the same time. If not, it's easy to replace the u-joints.

Thanks. Any suggestions on types or brands of u joints?

I would buy Dana Spicer U joints.

While you're at it, change the ball joints.
