ZJ Jeep Project: front drive shaft replacement, CV to U-joint

As stated in many web sources, the front drive shaft ZJ jeep, Constant Velocity joint type (CV joint) is one of the ZJ weakness point, is easily broken, especially in off road daily used. It also happen with my ZJ, the CV joint start to wobbling, especially while driving above 60 km/m. This CV joint is not fixable, one its broken, you should replace with a new one, which is cost you around 350-400 bucks, and the same problem will come again after few years.

After some discussion and internet research....:-), I went to workshop and they offer me to replace the original CV joint with used Universal joint taken from cherokee country. They said that U-joint will fit properly in ZJ jeep. I saw many broken ZJ CV joints in that work shop, that mean my ZJ was not the first one. It cost only around $125 including installation cost.
Here some pictures of it:

The U-joint have been installed in my ZJ, just fit......

My next car: 2008 Chrysler 300

I've planned to change my old Volvo s40 with more power, comfort and still have high safety standard full size sedan. My choice goes to 2008 Chrysler 300. I really like the retro-classic exterior of the Chrysler 300 and the sound of HEMI engine is so entertaining. After searching some informations on the web, I have found very interesting Chrysler 300 reviews at thecarconnection.com. This site has a complete car reviews, photos, insurance and finance information and -my favorite page- tips and advice for a car owners.

Back to the Chrysler 300, this car is designed to give the driver a guide soft, quiet, comfortable and a continuous feeling of control and security. Chrysler 300 have a clean, roomy design interiors. I often bring my family for long distance driving, so safety is my concern. Chrysler 300 offers a wide range of passive safety - which is very important for muscle car like this.

Under the bonnet, Chrysler were developed four engines and two types of transmission: from the economic 2.7 liters V6 up to the powerful HEMI 6.1-liter V8. The 2008 Chrysler 300 reviews at thecarconnection.com mentioned that the HEMI engines are thirsty (around 14-15 mpg for city driving), it is fair enough, get the power - spend more money for fuel. For speed and torque lover like me, I'll choose the HEMI engine, the fuel cost is not on the top of the list. Now fasten your seat belt .... feel the mighty torque.
