Our guide covers 10 model years for the Toyota 4Runner (2016–2026) but only 8 for the Jeep Cherokee (2015–2023), so the Toyota 4Runner data reflects a broader range of generations.

At Grade A (excellent) condition, the Jeep Cherokee is 35% cheaper ($95 vs $146) — the gap widens compared to the overall median difference.
The Jeep Cherokee has 12 known trim variants compared to 3 for the Toyota 4Runner, which means buyers need to be more careful about matching the exact engine or drivetrain configuration on the Jeep Cherokee.
Buyer's checklist
What to check before buying a used axle shaft
- Inspect the CV joint boots for cracks or tears. A torn boot means contaminated grease and likely a worn joint.
- Check the splines on both ends for wear, rounding, or corrosion.
- Match the axle length and spline count exactly. AWD and FWD variants of the same vehicle often use different axles.
- Confirm the ABS tone ring is present and undamaged — a missing ring triggers ABS warning lights.
