Same part number for both.

I've been using the Prothane Six Shooters for a few months now. So far so good. Heard a few good words about the Drive Shaft Shop units as well. RPM uses and sells them.

Yes there are two.

These are from my 97 with about 59,000 miles and mostly track miles the last 5 years. I had them replaced by the guys at RPM when they put my new/rebuilt transmission in. They said they just get old and dry rot like tires do. They did not have any of the polys at the time but Rodney @ RPM said for my 4/5 HPDE I do OEM would be fine.
I would replace them just cheap insurance and they aren't they easiest things to get to
