Intermediate shaft no longer sold nor made, need help

[FATKAT750]

Please, I need help. I have been needing to replace the intermediate shaft in a 07 Liberty for almost 2 years now. I am not sure if it’s due to COVID, but I can’t get my hands on one. I’ve tried crown, mopar, every off brand there is. Nothing listed on eBay and the local junk yards have ones worse that what’s on mine now. anything I find online will allow me to order and shows I can order, however just to get an email an hour later saying it’s no longer produced.
will the intermediate shafts from a 2008 and up fit?

2007 part number- 5066057ab

Why not just buy the full assembly with new CV joints as well? Loads on ebay.

I don't think any of the CV axles on eBay include the intermediate shaft?

 

[KJowner]

Sorry I misunderstood you, the shafts are available on ebay as far as I can see though?

Tried that one you posted to. They don’t have them in hand. They order from crown and it’s a direct ship, and ive been on a waiting list for the crown axle for over a year.
Does the axle from a 08 and up work? I can’t find the specs online, but they look the same.

I think the problem is they are all drop shippers and as soon as you order the vendor with the web front end tries to order only to find nothing in stock @ crown to ship.

Just happen to come across this. Maybe it'll help

Seems odd that they are all out of stock, it's avaliable in Europe but shipping is probably a fortune.
Surely they are available second hand? They can't all be wrecked, they spend most of their lives freewheeling!

Lots of them are available used. I think the OP was trying to source a new one.

Just call around town! There should be machine shops and axle repair places. I took mine to them and they rebuilt it for me and it cost less than the price of a new one. If you have any kind of mechanical skills you can get both of the ends on Ebay for about $80. I have done this method as well. Good Luck!

How do you know you need a new shaft? Trying to learn.

How do you know you need a new shaft? Trying to learn.

Typically, when the right side CV needs replacing, the intermediate shaft is replaced also. The reason is that if the splines are messed up between the intermediate shaft and the CV, then the bad splines on the old intermediate shaft will destroy the splines on the new CV (or vice-versa). I suppose you could remove the axle, separate the shaft from the CV, and examine the splines. But then you'd have to have the Jeep disassembled before ordering any parts.

I'm tight, that's exactly what I do, clean and use spline grease on reassembly and they shouldn't see much wear. I use the same grease at work on crane pump and winch drives and they do thousands of hours without any sign of wear.
