      Video Review & Installation

      Ryan: JK Adams Driveshaft Heavy-Duty Front 1310 CV Driveshaft with Greaseable Joints and Flange is for those of you that have a 2007 to 2018 JK with up to 6 inches of lift, which is a lot of lift that are looking for a heavy-duty driveshaft that's also going to handle the steeper driveshaft angles of a lifted Jeep better than that factory driveshaft.Well, this is going to be a nice, easy one out of three wrenches to bolt into your Jeep. This does come with the flange. So the adapter that you need to get it installed in the front of your JK and ultimately a couple of bolts you can get this installed and you'll be good to go.Now, there are gonna be a couple of different benefits and a couple of different reasons to install all a new driveshaft. One is just going to be strength. A driveshaft like this is going to be very, very strong. When you have big tires, when you're off-road, you're getting in a situation where your tire could be jammed and lodged between a couple of rocks. Maybe you are climbing something and you get a little bit of wheel hop. That's all stuff that can really stress a driveshaft, not just the U-joints, but the driveshaft itself. So you want something that's going to be nice and strong for you.When you have a lift, whether or not you have an exhaust spacer installed in your JK, that exhaust can get really close to the factory driveshaft, and it can melt the boot on the driveshaft, which really renders that driveshaft unusable. Once it melts, the grease isn't gonna stay in there. It's gonna wear out pretty quickly on you and you are going to end up having to replace it.So this is going to solve that problem. Obviously, no rubber boot, nothing to melt on this driveshaft. But the big reason that a lot of you are gonna wanna install this is what I mentioned before, the angles that this driveshaft can handle. This is, as it says, in the title, a CV driveshaft or a constant velocity driveshaft. And what that means is that right here, you are going to have not one but two U-joints, and you're going to have a ball, essentially, a centering ball inside of that.So what that means is this end can really handle some pretty intense angles and still spin without wearing out prematurely, without heating up, without vibration, without binding. It really solves a lot of those problems there. So, by installing something like this, you can have a lifted Jeep. You can have a steeper driveshaft angle without having to deal with any of those issues.Now, when you have a CV driveshaft, the ideal driveline angle is going to be a little bit different than if you don't have a CV driveshaft. With a CV driveshaft, you essentially want your pinion angle and the output of your transfer case to be parallel with the driveshaft in between them. If you don't have a CV driveshaft, you really want the pinion pointing at the output shaft. So a little bit of a different suspension geometry set up there. If you are running one of these, you'll probably wanna get some adjustable control arms as well so that you can really dial in all of those angles. So that there's something to consider as well.But what's nice about this driveshaft is it does come with everything. These are going to be some greaseable U-joints here. So they're not going to have the grease fittings on the ends of them, which can make them significantly weaker. They do have these flat-style grease fittings in the middle which still keeps them pretty strong but still keeps them greaseable. Some people like a non-greaseable or non-serviceable U-joint because they feel it is stronger. There are no grease paths through the insides. It can be solid, it can be stronger.That's really up to you, how you wheel, what you want as far as maintenance and maintainability on your vehicle. This does come with those greaseable U-joints. And as I said before, it has this flange which is the adapter you're going to need to get this installed on your Jeep. So overall, really, really high-quality piece here from Adam's Driveshaft.This is personally what I run on my TJ in the back. It's a driveshaft that just keeps on going. You don't have any problems with it. If you have greaseable U-joints, make sure you grease them up. There's also going to be another small grease fitting on the centering ball of the CV side, so make sure you grease that up as well. But if you do that, if you maintain it just like any driveshaft, this one is gonna hold up incredibly well for you.Now, all that being said, you're getting a premium part here. This one is going to be a little bit more expensive than some of the others on the market coming in right around $470. But honestly, if you're looking for something really strong, you're looking for something that's going to last with just regular maintenance, this is going to be it. So pretty easy installation here. Let me show you how to do it.Man: Tools required for this installation, breaker bar, various extensions, universal swivel, 1/2-inch drive, 3/8-inch drive, a 1/4-inch drive, 5/16 12-point, and 8-millimeter socket, 15-millimeter socket, 32-millimeter socket, ball pin hammer, rubber mallet, flat-head screwdriver, Phillips that screwdriver, pry bar, optional is a 3/8 air drive or a 1/2-inch air drive.All right. To start off, we're gonna be removing our transfer case skid plate. There are two 18-millimeter bolts right here. There's one on this side and one on the frame rail over here. All right, guys, so our next step is to get the bolts out of the transfer case side of our driveshaft. I have three extensions on this impact with a universal swivel and an 8-millimeter socket, so let's get these bolts out.All right. I'm going to attempt to get as many of these bolts out as I can before I have to climb back up and put the Jeep in neutral to spin the shaft around and get the rest of them. All right. There's one. And they have the little bracket on them and it just keeps them from spinning off.All right. I'm gonna grab those two off there. That one's looking a little iffy. I don't wanna strip the head of that bolt off. So I'm going to attempt to get another one or two and then get in the Jeep and put it in neutral. All right. I climbed up into the Jeep. I put it in neutral. Again, we are in four-wheel drive, so I'm gonna turn my shaft so I can get the rest of these front bolts out.All right. So before we get the bolts right here on our deferential, I have a bungee cord that I am going to put. There's a little spot on our engine block here with a little hole in it. I'm gonna put that there and then this. So I take this off and I start prying on it. It'll go up and not down. So I have my air impact with a 15-millimeter short socket, and I'm gonna get these bolts out now. All right. Here's our last bolt.All right. Now with a mallet, I'm gonna hit this flange right here and try not to hit the universal joint just in case you wanna use this driveshaft in the future. All right, guys, I found a little hole, a little window back here that we can hit the flange with a tip of our Philips head screwdriver and a ball-peen hammer. So I'm gonna try to tap that out gently. All right. Now we can get our pry bar behind there. And there we go, we're free. Now I'm gonna leave the bungee cord here and work on the back shaft now.All right, guys, now I'm gonna take the end of my mallet here and just try to hit this flange here to separate our carbon shaft from the transfer case and spin it around so we can do it. All right. It looks like I got a little bit of an opening there. All right. Now I have a flat-head screwdriver. I'm gonna try to get this in between, gain a little bit more distance. And we're out.So let's get this driveshaft out of the way. Let's take this to the bench and show you some side-by-side comparisons. All right, guys, on the table here, we have our new Adams driveshaft and our stock driveshaft. And the key difference is in the ends here. We have a CV style and a double card on the Adams driveshaft. So, what that means is we need to change our output flange of our transfer case to this universal type. And we need to use a 32-millimeter socket to get that stock CV flange out of there.So let's get the Jeep back up in the air in park so that transfer case doesn't move. Get that flange out and get our new one in there. All right. So I have my 32-millimeter socket on the end of a breaker bar, and I'm going to break free this. I'm gonna switch to my socket now. All right. So I have my rubber mallet and I'm going to hit the end of the flange here and try to knock it off those splines. And there it goes right there. All right, guys, now that we have our CV flange out, we're gonna take this big O-ring out, put it in our new one.Make sure it seats evenly in there. Just like that. Now on the backside, an important thing to note on these flanges and these splines is if you pack this full of RTV, it won't allow any of that oil to get past that seal inside the transfer case. So we're gonna put a little bit of grease in there, slip it on the spines, and then tighten down that nut. All right. Now we're gonna slide our new flange onto our transfer case shaft here, making sure that that O-ring stays in place. And I did put threadlocker on this nut.So we're gonna start a couple of threads there and get my socket wrench back on there. All right. We're gonna get a torque wrench on there as well of torque that to spec. All right. So what we're gonna do now is just place our driveshaft roughly into the spot where we need it, get our safety strap back in there so it doesn't come back down on us. This one goes up to the engine block right there. And what this will allow us to do is start a couple of the bolts up here in the front then we can work on the back.So we're reusing our factory hardware in the front, which are those 15-millimeter bolts. Now I'm gonna put these two on here, climb back in the Jeep, put it in neutral so I can spin this. So we're gonna get all four bolts in and started. All right. So I got my socket wrench. I'm just gonna tighten down what I got up front here. It's very important to use threadlocker on any driveshaft bolt.All right. So I have the transfer case in neutral. As you can see, I can move that flange freely. What I'm gonna do now is bring this shaft into my new flange here. I'm sure it's even all the way around. I'm gonna go straight up and down with it though. With some threadlocker, we're gonna be putting our bolts through the backside of the flange and into our U-joint there. We're gonna tighten these up. Now on my socket, I have a 5/16 12 point. As you can see, these are 12 point bolts. Let's tighten out what we got here. All right. Let's spin it around. Get the other side on as well. Use a tire to spin it to make it a little easier. You can see that shaft how it works.All right, guys, don't forget to put your transfer case skid plate back on, and you don't have to worry about greasing this because Adams already did. Just do it about every 10,000 miles.All right, guys, that's gonna wrap it up for this Adams Driveshaft install for this Jeep JK. And for all things Jeep, keep it here at extremeterrain.com.
