Ok, we have a Drive shaft shop here in town but they dont "REFUSE" touch foreign stuff. Is there a Spicer, or Napa number that will work for the U-joints and centering ball.... These guys out here are really starting to get on my nerves. I will probably end up doing it my self just like everything else (more fun that way I guess)...... Sorry for the rant but we also have a spring shop in town that wont fix leaf springs either... Anyways any help finding common numbered U-Joints and centering ball would be very helpfull. Has anyone had the yolks machined to fit larger Ujoints? Curious thats all....

 

If you plan to do this yourself, consider this thread by nynole

If you follow the links Torancis gave you it should be pretty straight forward. I did mine last spring, at 90k miles. It was like $70 at Autozone for the parts. Mine was the centering ball squeaking (too many deep water crossings). I highly recomend using the u-joints with the grease zerk in the trunion cap as it will make it very easy to grease in the future.

 

Really need to learn to use the search function:

Those are just two of many threads where the PN's are listed.

You can't machine the yokes (yolks are in eggs) to accept 1310 series u-joints, and there's no need for 1310's on a Disco unless you off-road really hard.

 

Percision 344 u-joints and a 617 centering ball, or cross reference them to spicer.

 

Thanks Mike.

 

If you have a choice, use the Neapco's, they are stronger u-joints than Precision since all the channels are along the axises of the journals. They are also easier to lube on the DC end.
