Replacing the front u-joints on my 96 XJ and I got the 260x Spicers for my mechanic to press in. Evidently I got the wrong advice from somewhere b/c he's saying they're not the right size. Should I have gotten the 760x Spicers instead?
I think there might have been two different front axles offered on the 96 XJ or am I not right about that?
Actually, instead of the Spicer 760s (which I don't think has zerk fittings) would it be better to source a u-joint with zerks? Seems like they go bad when the grease runs out. And although a grease seal is good (like on the Spicers) it seems like the option to re-grease would give a longer life.
