You can buy new U-joints at many farm supply stores. They are used on farm machinery. Check your shaft diameter and whether it is a "D" or "double "D" configuration with two flats. Sometimes you can get them online like here and other places:

Shopping in person is better, the descriptions are terrible.

You trader. Just kidding. Thats what I should had did, but the price was right on the bigball. I rebuilt and replace everything I could for 5 bills. The only problem I have been having is the locker seems to loosen the selector bolts over time. It goes like hell though.

u-joint info

Subaru, I dont know if he has a website, but he will know about applications. Sounds like he's been at it for a long time, since he's semi-retired. Maybe you could keep looking around and find one cheaper, he buys them someplace.

Spicer part# 5-170x is the U joint 12$, 10-4-611sx are the yokes, 30$ a piece. These prices are from 1994. I'm sure they have risen some since then.

Does the u-joint fit the stock yokes, or would I have to also get the new yokes?

Yes, that ujoint is smaller. I ran into an article of someone that built a steering shaft for his 4X using the same parts and collapsable shaft.
