Default front axle u joints

I need to get 2 joints by sunday so I can get help putting them in. In a perfect world I could get spicers overnighted but thats not gonna happen and no one local has them, So my options are napa for 14 bucks or auto zone duralast for 9 or 17 bucks( differnece is warrenty). Is one going to be better then the other or wont it make a difference and I should get what evers cheaper.

I'd trust NAPA over the Autozone duralast ones..That's just me. If you can find the bruteforce heavy duty ones I'd get those.

you should have the smaller ones. part number should be 5x-260. unless you have ABS, then you have 5x-297.

You have the smaller ones... 1 1/16" = 1.0625"
And I use the Brute Force stuff from Advance just cuz they're like $16 a piece, and usually in stock.
