Hello everyone I’m a bit stumped here on what part number ujoints to look for. I’ve seen several tell me this and several tell me that but does anyone know for sure what I need for both driveline and axleshafts? It’s a 96 without abs, no upgrades or modifications to the driveline other than a lift and I prefer Spicer. Thank you!

You'll need five 1310X joints for the drive shafts (might as well do the centering ball if you are going to do the front driveshaft joints) then two 760X joints for the front axles.

I could be drawing a blank but centering ball?

It's a spherical bearing in the double cardan joint between the two u-joints. has needle bearings in it. It's a non serviceable piece on the original driveshaft.

Here's a video describing it.

oh wow thank you I didn’t even know about that, I’ll definitely be looking into replacing that.

Just as I thought I'd nailed down all the bits I need in my UJ thread.

hi mate, I think you are in the UK ?

does Rock Auto still send stuff to UK...do they charge 15%VAT ?

Rock Auto will no longer send parts to Australia, cause we have a 10% GST (VAT)

very annoying

I have no idea. My parents are going to Florida next month so I plan to send my RA order to where they're staying instead of international postage.

To AVG:
It is a mystery for me why RockAuto would not ship to Australia because of VAT.
If the parts are shipped out of the US by RA, they shouldn't have to collect any
State sales tax, much less any VAT for a foreign govt.

I live in Ivory Coast and have ordered several times from RA. RA charges me for
the parts and for shipping, but they don't collect any VAT. When the parts arrive in
this country, I go to the post office and they make me pay customs and VAT on the
value of the parts plus shipping on the RA bill. It all works out to about 32.5% of
the RA bill.
