New 08 Commander owner inboard rear driveshaft broken

[JeremyH]

I just bought an 08 Commander yesterday. Test drive it fine.  Got it home and took the kids for a ride.  Made it a half a mile and the inboard rear driveshaft u-joint came apart.  Called Joyner and they tell me that it's one of two driveshafts.  One they still sell and one they don't.  If it's the old style one I have to replace the rear differential in order to upgrade.  Anyone have experience with having the old one repaired or have one hanging around?   Wasn't planning to drop another $1000 in this machine 3hrs after buying it.

hi You need to take it apart to see what has happen inside.We do have good rear differential we up grade them our selves at our shop.

When you take it apart send pictures and maybe i can lead you in the right direction.

Thanks Rich

Thanks.  I can see where it's broken.  It's right at the universal joint. I'll be pulling it tonight to find out if it's male or female. I'll take pics once it's out.

Here is where the break is but I can't see a clip or anything holding the other half in.  It won't budge.  Any tips?
