Vehicle Fitment Details: * **Year:** 2011 * **Make:** Jeep * **Model:** Grand Cherokee * **Engine:** 5.7L V8 MDS VVT * **Applicable Trims/Drivetrain:** Laredo 4WD, Limited 4WD, Overland 4WD, 4x2, 4x4, Summit 4x2, Summit 4x4, X 70th Anniversary 4x2, X 70th Anniversary 4x4. Installation Note: When replacing the drive shaft, it is crucial to index its relationship to the differential axle assembly mating flange using chalk or a scribe to ensure correct alignment upon reinstallation. If replacing universal joints personally, mark each yoke in relation to its opposite counterpart to maintain balance and take care not to drop the assembly during servicing.
