What do you think...is there more going on than just a bad U-joint?
This is on a 95 YJ.
Suggestions? My mechanic is going to look at it next week, just thought I'd ask you guys!

I don't think you'd have an issue inside the axle. That looks like it's just a u joint, unless you have some worn gears as well. It's better to replace the $10 part first to find out...

It has been seriously neglected. I'd replace both of them since it's so easy.

Yeah, pretty typical worn u-joint. There isn't any supporting bearing there so that's why the shaft is flopping like that.

Replace both sides.

Thanks! I was going to o start with the U joints and go from there. I just got this a couple of months ago and just working through it little by little
