Need U-joint numbers....spicer, napa (whoever)?

For the front axle itself...in between the hub kingpins (not the driveshaft but those numbers wont hurt either).

I found another thread with NAPA numbers in it:
-1480's for the rear drive shaft
-1350's for the front driveshaft

And I did find some other spicer number in another post
-Spicer 5-213x (1330)
-Spicer 5-2134x
(but dont know what they are for)

Again, what I need are the U-joints for in the front axle between the kingpins (at the front hub casting (steering) assembly.

Thanks.

Ron.

Here is what I found the DC #is 5086665AC the Neapco # is 3-0485 but they
are not available yet after market at least not in Canada. The 02 joints will fit but the lock ring has an 80 thou differance on the cap so it won"t lock the joint in. The 02
# is 3-0332. The DC joints sell for about $80.00 here with my discount $101.00
list. The Neapco joints are cheaper about $60.00 but you can"t get them just a little DC change to keep the price up

I have been trying to get sombody to post the best way to change these joints but I guess nobody nows how because I haven"t had a reply to my posts either
hope this helps

I ground the caps down on my NAPA 351 joints to fit into the rear driveshaft on my truck.
So far they are alive with 4 or 5 hooks on them.

We used a socket and ball peen hammer to get out the old caps.
Also, a large pipe wrench to rotate the stuck caps out of the old housing.
A brass hammer to bang in the new caps.

Total was about $90 for all three joints!!

It's just like a bigger version of a Cherokee or Wrangler.

Pull the calipers and rotors, remove the unit bearings and pull the shafts out.

Getting the old U-joints out of the shafts and the new ones back in is the same as it ever was. Here's how I like to go about it. http://www.4x4wire.com/tech/axle/ujoint/
