Front drive shaft...third in a year,?
I have a 2005 Jeep grand Cherokee limited. Third front drive shaft clicking inside a year. Is there something wrong with my Jeep? Or are these drive shafts just junk? Standard Gear.

I know nothing about the 05 so here are some questions that may or may not be helpful. What kind of front shaft? Rzepa or double Cardan? Is there a lift? Rzepa's dont like lifts greater than 2" and sometimes they fail quickly at 2". If Rzepa, are they rebuilding the end that fails or replacing with new ones.

The 05 is IFS with a fixed differential and the shaft has a flexible section in it's middle when made by Mopar to allow for engine movement. Replacement types do not.
