U-Joint Part Number?

[charsawbis]

Does anyone know the U-joint part numbers for a 1996 4.0 Eddie Bauer.
It has 4wd but with the auto-locking hubs that only engage when in 4wd Auto or 4wd low.
How many total u-joints are there? my assumption is 6...

I need to replace the front drivers side u-joint.

Thanks in advance.

Are you talking axle shaft or drive shaft?

Axle shaft. The vibration and binding is coming from the wheel and the steering. So i have narrowed it down to the axle.

Thanks!

You would be better off just replacing the whole axle shaft. They use CV jounts not U-Joints. Let alone easier.

A rebuilt axle shaft will run around $70 and a new one around $90.

Read the third sticky down at the top of this forum. It will tell you everything you need to know.
