Front axle U-Joints?
Anyone have a part number or vendor that sells the U-joints for the front axle on my 99.5 PSD 4WD? My driver's is binding on the right turn and Ford wants a 2nd mortgage for an drive shaft unit. Thanks for all helpful input.

I just picked up a new axle u joint for my '01 F350 from Bumper to Bumper. I searched and found that Napa also carried them. I also was told that I would need to replace the entire axle assembly but that's not the case. The Napa number for my U Joint is PUJ 374 but you might want to double check that with your local vendor. When I went into Bumber to Bumper they actually just looked it up for me when I gave them my information.

I got mine at NAPA, I don't remember the part number. Word of advice tho, if your truck has any sort of miles on it, do the axle seals. If your truck has ESOF, they probably won't re-seal again, I have had mine apart three times, once for u-joints and ball joints, then again three weeks later for a leaky seal, and now I am just happy using my ESOF hubs manually. It is a fair job getting these things apart (For me anyway), so if you have non-greaseable ball joints, may as well "git'er'done".
