Default Napa #447.... I got it, and it has a grease fitting... is it the right one.

I read somewhere that the u-joint adapters with the grease fittings are not as strong. Is the part #447X that I have read about come without the grease fitting??

Thanks,
-Gary

Yes, that is the right u-joint. Just don't forget to grease it after you put it in.

I got mine without a grease ( zexel ) fitting, Driveline guy said that is where and why they break.

Carbon Fiber DS to 1310

Bring your DS to a good Driveline shop and they can get what you want.

make sure you orient the grease fitting so that it is under compression under accel, not tension.

that is why people brek them.
