So i have determined that I have a bad Axle U-Joint connecting to the right/front wheel.
Please tell me what one is correct to order. I honestly have no idea what I am looking at here. If by chance they will ALL fit, please tell me which is the best choice.

What year is the front axle?
Up until 1995, standard D30 shafts took Spicer 5-260x U joints. 1995 and later shafts, as well as earlier ABS shafts, use Spicer 5-297x which has a larger bearing cap. 5-760x is a stronger joint compatible with 5-297x.
Greaseable is good if you like maintenance. Spicer was the OE but Moog/Precision is a good aftermarket choice.

or any of the other links i posted in the initial post?
Sorry man, I can wrench, but i can't understand parts and part numbers when it comes to things like this
NOTE... I am looking for a NON greaseable one... because i most likely won't grease it

You're not an idiot, 5-760x is a non-greaseable joint.
Moog 269 is for the drive shafts, not axles. 371 is what you want for the axle. Read the description
