Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the front drive shaft on this 2006 Jeep Liberty. The items you'll need for this are an 8mm socket and ratchet, flat blade screwdriver, a hammer, jack and jack stands, and a second person isn't required but it does make this a lot easier.
The front drive shaft is located right here, and it's held in on either end with a series of 8mm bolts. We'll start off by removing the front 8mm bolts. Using a hammer and a flat blade screwdriver, break that front part free. We'll just fast forward as Don removes the 8mm bolts on the other side. It helps to have another person holding the drive shaft while someone else removes the bolts, but you can brace it yourself. Again, use a hammer and a flat blade screwdriver and break this end free. Then you just pull this down and out.
Take your new drive shaft and feed it back up into place. You want to feed it in the back end first, and push the back end up and over where it's supposed to go. Then feed the front end in. You can now lower that back end down in place. Then you just want to replace those 8mm bolts. We'll just fast forward as Don replaces those and tightens them up. You want to stop the wheel from moving so that this won't turn so you can tighten the bolts up. Have a second person to hold the wheel or brace it some other way just so that it can't move. You want to repeat the process on the other end. Again, we'll just fast forward as Don replaces those 8mm bolts. After you've preliminarily tightened the bolts, go around in a kind of crossing pattern, tighten them to about twelve to fourteen foot-pounds.
We hope this video helps you out. Brought to you by www.1AAuto.com, your source for quality replacement parts and the best service on the Internet. Please feel free to call us toll-free, 888-844-3393. We're the company that's here for you on the Internet and in person.

This drive shaft fit perfect in my Jeep Liberty. It is made in china so we shall see how long it lasts. Good price though and had one year warranty. So for the price it's a good deal. Also received the wrong drive shaft due to incorrect packaging from the supplier. 1A auto did more than take care of me. They sent the correct one out next day air with no charge. Great customer service.
good value for the money

Hey everyone. I purchased this drive shaft for my 04 jeep liberty. Unfortunately it failed but I had a replacement within 2 days of talking to customer service. I would really like to give props to this staff of customer service. Getting a part on warranty was so painless.
my mechanic is starting to order his parts from A-1 Auto as well. By the way the replacement part is working perfectly. quality is right up there as well.
All I can say is Thank you very much.

I bought this front drive shaft for my 05 jeep liberty 3.7L and took it to my shop to have them install it. It worked like a charm. This piece was just what i needed, it fit and works perfectly. It was the fox for my 4wd and horrible rattling noise i had. It shipped and got to me fast as well. I give credit when credit is due !

Product was delivered as promised, appears to be a good quality part. Although it was pictures with new bolts they do not come with the front drive shaft. I am happy with the product. I just have to rebuild the transfer case now

I made the mistake by ordering the wrong part. I called to get the right part shipped out as soon as I realized my mistake. They shipped the part out right away. 1A Auto had the best price for the part that I needed than any of other online auto parts dealers.

This part was exactly what I needed! It corrected the problems I was having with the rear joint and the black definitely looks better than the dirty old rusty one!

Considering that the OEM wants to charge $700 + just for the part... this is a great substitute! I purchased a couple weeks ago due to a vibration from the chassis. After installation I found it was the rear Ujoint... Thanks Jeep for telling me this was bad... However, there was no unbalancing of this driveshaft! Buy with confidence!
Great customer service, part seems okay.

This was my first order from 1A Auto and they knocked it out of the park with customer service. UPS delivered an empty box which was open on one end. 1A sent me a new one immediately. My only complaint is that both boxes were poorly sealed and should have had packing tape on all sides instead of just the opening flap, which may have prevented the UPS thief from unfolding one side and accessing the contents of the first box.
For the part, it fit perfectly, but the shaft diameter is larger than the OEM part on my 2007 Liberty, so it's not quite the same spec. The rubber boot on the rear CV joint looks a little questionable, as the outer surface appears to have some light cracking. The cracks aren't deep at all and appear to be cosmetic only (if there's a light coating applied to the rubber, then it's the coating that cracked), but I'm a little nervous about how well the boot will hold up, since this is the side of the shaft that commonly fails.
I took it for a drive around town, on t

1aAuto was prompt in delivering the driveshaft for my '05 Jeep Liberty.
I have repaired this with a CV joint kit before. But when that failed, I decided to buy this complete driveshaft from 1aAuto.
Just make sure you keep your old hardware. this doesn't come with mounting bolts.
definitely recommend!

Hi my name is Taylor I own a 2004 jeep liberty limited with 180k miles. Old original front drive shaft was making a awful metal rubbing sound. Finally found out the awful noise was from the front driveshaft after replacing u-joints on rear driveshaft. The front driveshaft I purchased from 1aauto.com came very quickly, and the quality was great! Ps also way cheaper than anywhere else plus a lifetimewarranty.. Installed like a month ago which I did personally. Let's just say installing new one is way easier than removing original. My jeep is now quiet and drives very smooth again. In conclusion I highly recommend this product you won't be disappointed.
Great Product

The front drive shaft on my 2003 Jeep Liberty went out abruptly right before a major snow storm and left me without 4x4 capabilities. I commute 45 miles one way every day so the added safety was needed immediately. I found 1-A online, was able to easily find the part that I needed, and had it at my door got it installed within 4 days with no cost of freight. It was a perfect fit and the accompanying installation videos made replacing the part a breeze. Great product from a great company.

I ordered the part Sunday and got it on Wednesday. Shipping was quick, the part was 1/3 of autozone and orileys so I thought it wouldn't be the same but it fit like a glove took about a hour to throw on plus I found their video on YouTube that made it easy. I used my old bolts because the new ones required a hex key making it harder to screw in with limited space. Will order from them again. My jeep is now quiet again

Nice-looking Driveline game with fasteners but the end of the Driveline are bit tight in the axle flange if the axles need to be removed I'm sure they'll be a bit of a process to remove but no vibrations currently

The TRQ driveshaft sold by 1A auto is a great value and shipped super fast. The part was an exact fit for 2007 Liberty (4x4, 6sp manual). The video on 1A Autos website was helpful in explaining the removal process and I had the whole job done in an hour. Only downside is the new bolts are internal hex so they are a little trickier to tighten up (the will strip easily).

Had serious problems with this drive shaft and the replacement drive shaft that A1 Auto sent after the first one failed then they refuse to send me a third one and refunded my money and told me good luck shopping elsewhere I thought I will ever buy anything ever again from A1 Auto

Only lasts about 20,000 to 30,000 miles. Replaced them 3 times inside 65,000 miles. I think it's due to the low quality grease. The installed grease is light yellow or opaque and is either lithium or lower quality grease. The grease should be black to dark amber and be Calcium Sulfanate grease. It lasts longer and maybe will lengthen the wear life. These should last 80,000 miles or more, especially if 4x4 is rarely used. When I pull the bad ones off and inspect the grease is always burned up or completely gone.
Happy customer

Customer Q&A
On the new shaft I just received. I noticed that the measurement from weld to weld is slightly larger. I measure 17 inches rather then 16 and 1/2. Is this normal and is this shaft going to fit my 2005 Liberty?September 7, 2017
A A
10
For the 2005 model we only list two separate options. One of which has the 19 inch prop shaft, and the one you are viewing with a 16 1/2 inch prop shaft. If your OE is measuring at 17 then we would recommend purchasing this part as the measurement may be slightly off.

Yes this will fit your vehicle as long as yours matches up to the following aspects:
2006 Jeep Liberty V6 3.7L 16-1/2 Inch (weld to weld) Prop Shaft Length
May 9, 2022
T I

You have to measure the shaft under your vehicle and match up the length to the driveshaft you are purchasing. There are 2 sizes - 16.5" and i think 20". Measure from weld to weld. This would be for a front drive shaft 4x4.
