Default Front axle U Joint

Hey guys,

I think one of my front axle u joints may be toast. I'm getting a kind of pulsating / clanking making hard left turns. I haven't actually gotten around to poking around at the joint to see, but I figured what the hell I ought to have an extra on hand if it's not the problem (anyone have any other ideas?).

I think that I need a "Position 9" joint? Is that right? I'm ordering through advance because I need a new trans mount that I'm buying while I'm at it.

Thanks in advance

Oh, by the way this got noticeably worse after using 4wd in our first snowstorm of the year a few weeks ago.
