U-Joints for 2000 WS6 Im replacing both U joints on my 4th gen F body....The spicer U-Joint 5-3147x comes up as a replacement, but also says it for steel driveshaft and mine of course is Alum....Same with Spicer 5-795x..I guess the diff in those 2 joints is one has zerk fitting and one does not? Will either of these fit the alum shaft on the front and rear? Would like to go with Spicer, Moog or Precision joints...

Appreciate it...I think the actual issue is the axle though. Have had a slight vibration that has gotten worse over time, and a slight "ticking" noise that I have yet to find...replaced all rotors, pads etc and is still there...Buddy had the same issue and sound on his Firehawk..he replaced driveshaft, lca, bmr ta etc...his turned out to be the axle..I think the ticking or metallic rub Im hearing is the axle bearing worn out and finally got my axle...Im going to stab the DS back in and take my wheels off and just put the lug nuts back on to hold the rotor in place and put it in gear and see if it wobbles...If it does Im just going to put some Moser axles in until I can get a 12 bolt under her...

Rear end ticking nosie could be bolts from the ring gear coming loose starting to scrap the case. I had the same problem for months until the bolt finally caught the case enough to break. It locked up the rear end leaving a stop sign, no major damage other then the cover and bolt. It was the factory ring gear and posi from the factory at 200k miles. 2 other bolts had come loose as well.. Just something to check
