DI u-joints
I'm putting in new U/Js this weekend, hopefully I'll get to it.
My '97 has (4) so I bought Neapco 1-0005 at Advance auto for $12.50 ea. ($54/4 out the door) They can look up by #, but a 1993 volvo uses them
These are american made (pdq box & joint) and have the zerk in the end cap, thereby eliminating the need to clock them.
It's been a long pissing contest between these and Prescision 344.
I searched a variety of places, didn't find a straight answer re: brand,model,source for our DI - most junk was for DII's.
Mine aren't shot, but I've put more than 60k on them and I don't know if the po had greased them.
(I remember some thin black grease oozed out the first time)
I'll post,
luck,greg

Got the u-joints in, I saved one old one as spare, the other three I pulled were lubed,(by me) but one of them had a pitted bearing surface
I wouldn't be surprised if they were the originals.
I'm glad that's over, initially, the new ones were tight, I hit the yokes with my 'lil buddy to backseat the caps, good now, like new.
Neapco # 1-0005 Advance auto parts - $12.50 ea. (listed for a '93 volvo 240)

Tom, it wasn't anything you did or didn't do, when I try to explain things, I was taught to aSSume I'm addressing an idiot.
I'm usually pleasantly surprised.
My A.D.D. allowed me to search "u-joints" and after 15 seconds, I moved on.
I'm sorry I didn't catch your thread.
EDIT - I did see your thread, I remember the pictures LOL - I'm spanking myself right now, thanx.
