>Still looks like their "replacement" joints have the side angle mounted fittings
Yes agree, but their document 3264a_spl.pdf shows installation pictures of a "conventional" joint with the center zerck

Re: It's U joint time !!!
I've had mine done but I haven't done them myself for lack of a press. One of the few things I haven't done. The guy I know at the local shop will r&r a pair of them for like $10 which is cheap enough to justify me not messing with them.
What centers the joint in the shaft? Seems like you could assemble the thing so it's all off center & kittywompus or something and have a nasty vibration as a result.

Re: It's U joint time !!! (silvervetteman)
I just got my Spicer U-joints. They are solid. $22.20 each from a local place called Advanced Driveline. They also have yokes and repair yokes. I'll be talking to them again about the yokes as there are several different ones. I know the repros show couple of different ones depending on years and trans type. But Advanced's list shows several different lengths also ! (Some just a few thousanths different and others close to an inch different) :confused:
