Ahhh, I bet you have one of the CV style front driveshafts with the rubber boot. The boot tears, the grease spits out, and the joint goes south. That type of front driveshaft only came in two model years ('99-'00) You can use junkyard parts if you can find them. The later models have U-joints at both ends of the front driveshaft. All you have to do is swap in the axle and transfer case yokes and the driveshaft itself from an '01-'02 WJ with a 4.7L. It's pretty easy.

Yours looks like this?

Yes thanks  im just up set that they would not say anything about it. It really wasnt just the boot the flange around the boot instead of being round it has a big lump down i guess i hit a big bump and it bend the flange

Donno. Is it a stock upper arm? If so I think it will be worth just changing out the whole thing. Changing the bushings is a suck job.

If it's an RC upper arm call 'em. I'm sure they sell the bushings.
