Changing front axle universals on '93 GC

Recently it appears that one or both of the front universal joints on my
'93 GC are starting to go bad (117Kmi). Are they replaceable like a
typical universals (press them out or do I need to purchase rebuilt axle
stubs?

U joints or CV? I thought the 93 production run was only CV.

That was the question I was going to ask him. My '01 WJ GC had CV joints, I
wasn;t sure what they'd used on early ZJs.

Universals (i.e. cross looking things) My 1993 Grand Cherokee has the
Command Track 4WD system. I think the Quadatrack systems did use CVs.

That would explain why I have CV joints up front, but the 93 service book only
shows front CV, not U joints. I think they made changes later in the production
run that year. I know for certain they changed trannies. At any rate the CV
and U joint axles are interchangable.
