front driveshaft ujoint

[SW86]

i need to replace my front driveshaft ujoint, its the 1310 right? and where's a good place to pick one up? thanks

1310 is the series number and there are several different u-joints within the 1310 series.

 

The specific Spicer part number that you want is 5-153x. And you'll need three of them.

thanks. why three? and where's a decent place to buy?

There's one joint up by the axle, and two in the double cardan joint at the T-case. I've never replaced the cardan joints, but it's my understanding it's usually a good idea to rebuild the ball pivot assembly at the same time.

Go with a quality joint (like Spicer) over the "store-brand" one's. They'll last a lot longer. As stated the Spicer part number is 5-153x.

 

Also as stated if your replacing them all it's a good time to replace the socket yoke assembly. That Spicer part number is 211544X.

I got the "gold seal" ones a few weeks back from Tom Woods Custom driveshafts and

got the ones with zerk fittings in the caps. Don't remember the series number but he

will know. Cost me around $60 delivered as I recall. Rebuilding the cardan and that

spring-loaded center ball pivot was fun, especially all those tiny needle bearings. It

turned out well. I haven't installed it yet, and hope that my failure to mark everything

as it came apart will not be regrettable.
