U-Joints
Time to do the drive shaft and half shaft u-joints. Where is the best place to get new u-joints? Should I stick with Spicer? Thanks.

Re: U-Joints
Hi Nick, I would definitely stick with Spicer. They have a coating so as not to corrode the aluminum. The half shaft part #'s are 5-800X and the drive shaft #'s are 5-786X. I had a relative who has an account with Spicer order mine. I think about 20.00 each. Merry Christmas.
Mike

Re: U-Joints
Spicer. I can get them locally if you want Nick. Although most places you go to, if you take the shafts with you will install them.

Re: U-Joints
Thanks, Mike and Jeff! I'm getting some pretty good clicking noises out of mine, and with 72,000 miles on the originals, its time to get it done.

Re: U-Joints
Sounds like a fun weekend project. If you do it on a Sunday and have my favorite plastic bottled beer on hand I might just come up to help.
