Those are the ones you should have unless someone replaced the complete ujoint assembly with the newer style. Do you have inside or outside keepers.

Not sure why you want to carry spares, they aren't something you change that easily, but yes they will all work. kind of why they are in the list ya know. Just make sure there are no grease zirks in the caps. some may change.

What's a solid ujoint ?????

Id like to know for sure all of those part numbers are correct. I called advance auto and they have the Moogs (315G) in stock with the grease fitting between the cups. But how am I to know its the exact same u-joint as the spicer(5-1306x). For some reason advance couldnt even find the spicer (5-1306x).

Edit: sorry, I was typing when you posted. We'll have time to change out the u-joints if any of them need to be changed. If a ujoint is bad and we don't have one on hand then we will be in trouble.

I shouldve called it a sealed joint. Its just a joint with no grease fittings.
