Default U joint help.

So my u joint busted today.. a little confused on which U joint to get because I have a moser 12 bolt on my 2000 T/a so if I go to autozone and ask for a U joint for my 2000 T/a will it fit the moser 12 bolt or do I have to get a different size? hope you guys understand what I am trying to ask.

Your moser should have a 1350 joint. What DS are you running? Stock?

Since your car didn't come with the 12 bolt its not going to do you any good to tell them to get you a u-joint for a 2000 t/a... The only thing they know how to do is type sh*t In the computer based on the model, year etc. of the vehicle you are looking up parts for. Most have little or no actual knowledge of cars lol

If you tell them you need a 1350 u joint they wont know what the hell you are talking about.

Have them cross reference this part number.

Are you using the stock driveshaft? If so you most likely need to get a Moog or Precision #447. This is a 1350 to 1344 conversion. If you had an aftermarket driveshaft made up hopefully they made it 1350.

Default Solid U Joint

Go with a Solid U Joint without the Zerk Lube fitting. Solid U Joints are stronger.

OP: was the ds bought at the same time as the 12-bolt, or is it the stock, factory ds? This may impact whether you need one of the special 1340/1344 conversion u-joints or a straight up 1350 u-joint
