yeah, the dealer has a mopar one, that would be way too expensive for what they are, and the spicer ones are much better.

I thought AutoZone carries Spicer u-joints? I swear I got two of them for my '89 there.

just called montrose, they don't carry spicer. Still looking for a spicer dealer. I might just get the equivilent, but I would like to get the spicer if possible.

Well from my past experiance, in my home town in NY, NAPA carries spicer joints and the dealers have spicer joints. Other than that buy them online, derek did it would be faster to order online than run this thread.

I don't know then, cuz the first thing I said was "do you carry spicer u-joints?" and they said no, nearest place is in boston somewhere. I just gave my friend (jeep tech) a few bucks, and my shaft (go ahead, make the jokes! ;D) and he is gonna pop them in for me, since I already took the old ones out. He looked at my shaft (say it again!) at told me that he thinks the parts guy gave him the wrong ones too! even after he gave them my VIN! I checked the rubiconownersforum, and i got spicer # 5-793x for the rear joint on the rear shaft, and 5-795x for the front joint on the rear shaft. so I have no idea WHAT FOCKING U-JOINT I NEED! So you can see why I don't wanna order them online, and get the wrong ones! That is why I figured I would just have him do it there, cuz he can just grab them off the shelf, and match them up! he also told me that the mopar u-joints are spicer anyway. I will keep you posted!
