truck; 99 ranger 4x4, auto locking hubs, 4.0 engine, extended cab.

The photo is of a cv joint on my front drive shaft. Can this be replaced seperatly or only as part of the front drive shaft? If it is as part of the entire shaft, can I drop the drive shaft and continue to use truck until i can get a replacement? Forgot to mention that the is allways engaged.

 

you can take the front shaft out and run it,but not sure about what you need to replace it

 

You may be able to fix it, but I doubt it... you're likely better off to just go to the junk yard and grab a different one!
