Title: U Joints
Post by: Strongbad on March 08, 2007, 11:35:09 AM

Hey Gents,

Looking for some help.  Replacing my original stock ujoints. Front & rear driveshaft ones, and the steering ones.
the Spicer site gives two options for the rear ones.  See below:

Spicer No

5-153X  5-785X  4,5  W/3.0" AXLE YOKE WIDTH        
5-213X  5-790X  4,5  W/3.7" AXLE YOKE WIDTH        
 
does anyone know without me having to go and measure first, which Axle Yoke Width, a stock 97 TJ Sahara would have ?  BNINE - i'm sure you must know this off the top of your head.
Rumor has it DSI is the place to go for the parts.

Thanks for the help.
Strongbad.

The ones for the for the drivehshaft will be the 153x or size 1310.  I know the 213x are 1330s which are too big

The ones for the axles will be a 297x.  The stronger version is the 760s I think

Anyways, if you go to DSI they will be able to tell you.  YJs are more difficult because of some changes midway thru the production
