When I first started at Napa in 1986, I could get any Dana/Spicer driveline part(Ring gears, spindles, knuckles, Diff carriers). Now these types of parts are very limited

well thats weird because everytime i have gotten u joints from them recently it is stamped "Spicer" on it. and when i have called napa to see who makes them they told me spicer for the u joints.

What makes you say that? I would feel confident with Moog (although people have been having issues recently with Moog moving their production overseas) Timken, or SKF wheel bearings on my Jeep.

No sir....
The easist way to tell is to measure the
exposed length (after you remove the
wheel and rotor) of the wheel stud.
1 1/8" for composite rotors.
1 1/2" for cast rotors.
There are other differences but this is the
quickest way to tell.

I ordered my Timkens from amazon for $170 shipped (2 day prime shipping). Couldn't get autozone (only local place) to price match. They wanted $102 for hubs for the cast rotors.

Here is a link comparing cast and composite rotors. The switch was made sometime in the 1999 production season.
