Went to 2 dif parts stores trying to find a u joint for my front right wheel axle. Went through every u joint they had. Finaly called the manufactuer and found one and it's still iffy on the fit. What am I doing wrong. Even the listed u joint for a Dana 30 wasn't right. Help please

 

isnt the front end a dana 35?

 

The front end is a Dana 30. The rear on some XJs is the Dana 35.



And what do you mean a u-joint for a front right wheel axle?

This is what a u-joint looks like. Is it what you're talking about?

 

You should be using the 297/760 style axle u-joints. If you are having that much trouble order some spicer joints.

 

Not to sound ignorant but what is a spicer joint

 

And those numbers army what's on mine. Looked em up. The bearing cap is too small

 

What you need then are joints with 1.87" diameter caps.

 

No. Just checked The caps are a smidge over 1 3/16. The forks are warped
