Guys there plenty of apps that require very HD U-Joints I used them for a long time in my driveshaft's. When you release a transbrake with a very sticky set of slicks on a well prepped track with a lot of HP "Usually" they are the first thing to give.

I can see where some of the serious off road crowd would require these also, how many I don't know. Want and need are 2 different things.

I think the answer is yes but just checking. Do the older "small shafts" have the 297 U-joint the same as the "large shafts"? The reason I ask is because when I broke the U-joint on Saturday none of the ears broke. Just wondering if the larger shafts make any difference.

I already have a pair of large shafts ready to be built. This is just an academic question.

No, they do not have 297's, they have 260's that is what makes them "small shafts"

Thanks for the info. The shaft diameter is different, but not sure if that matters since the larger "neck-down" at the seal anyway.

Also an interesting point is that I've seen 2 different aftermarket D30 shafts depending on early or late year XJs but the later model shafts fit in my early model.
