Default U-Joint Help

Ive been having a squeak come from my u-joint, pretty loud and noticeable at low speeds. There is also a very slight vibration at low speeds when the engine is under a load. I cant take it anymore so i went to o'reileys and bought there precision u-joint part number 235. It has the clips, not the plastic cups, so my question is whether or not it will work. My car has the stock alum. ds. Thanks

I did the u-joints on my 02. The stock ones have the teflon to lock it in. You are going to have to burn the trflon out to get the ujoint out. Trust me I banged it for an hour, before I was told.
The new ones go in with no problem.

Yes, the one you have will work. There are recesses in the housing for the clips. Make sure you install the clips and they lock into the recesses.
