Default U-joint question

Hi, i just found out my u-joints on my front driveshaft are bad, i went to autozone and got new u-joints, but the caps don't fit, and he new one's have snap clips when they should have c-clips, autozone is adamant that they gave me the right ones, but there is no way they are. does anyone know which u-joints we're supposed to have and where i can get them at? Thanks

sounds like they gave you axle shaft joints.
take em back and tell them you need 5-1310x joints, not 5-260x or 5-297x which they gave you.
depending on which ones, most likely the 297's you can keep them if they are the correct ones for your axles.
