PAP will sell you the whole shaft with unit-bearing for ~$15. xjs are dime a dozen there. any d30 with abs will have the larger joint.  {toast}

Dang Andy, and here I've been trying to break the little joint shafts I have. Something that may help The next set survive adjust your steering stops out if you haven't already. I think that's how mine have survived what they have.

As for shafts, I have a set of ABS shafts you can get for $35 and letting me grab your old shafts, including the busted side if salvageable with a new joint. The only catch I'm a good ways away, lol.

I'll see what we can work out. Also, i broke it with the steering dead straight. i was trying ti climb a steeep rock with a ledge at the top. I hit it with some speed on about the 5th try and ut bounced the front into the air. When it landed the front tire was gettin it and it snapped when it planted.

I'm surprised it didn't break off the ears too. I never got lucky enough to just break a joint.
Do Work Aka Moon Man. What you lack in technique make up in throttle! Or a set of cheater tires.

Hmmm, I've popped my front tires up plenty, but I guess they've never really caught enough traction to do damage.

But yeah, just let me know on the shafts, I just want your old ones as spares incase I do the same.

I drug the axle shaft out today and inspected it. No cracks or damage. I still need to check out the stub.
