Need info for U-joint replacement
Hey all,
I was happy to find that my highway vibration appears to only be a bad u-joint at driveshaft into the diff.
My problem is there are so many replacements to choose from, I don't know how to select. On Summit's website, there appears to be different "series" at least for Dana part. So which do I have in my 89' F150 4x4 with 8.8 rear end? I would like to add that there are U-bolts that attach the joint to the yoke (so won't need to press those out, the shaft should come right off).
Figure while I have it off, might as well do the one behind the T-case as well, any help would be appreciate, I trust you all's input over a part's rep. NAPA has them, but they're from China, no thanks!
Thank you,

Hi,
In the past I used Federal-Mogel branded “Precision Universal Joint” as these were Made in the USA!!! Not sure anymore where they are made.
The different "Series" you mention are for "Regular duty" vs "Heavy duty" ect.
My only input would be to get Joints that are grease-able,... some are and some aren't.

I got a hold of the Dana Spicer U-joint catalog and found what I needed. I called the support line to verify with a rep. Here's a link to the catalog.

I need to get this replaced this weekend, and Summit was out, so he gave me the specs for my application:
Axis 1 1.125"
Axis 2 1.062"
Overall width 3.625"
With this information I was able to purchase an available Moog part. Hope this helps!
