I think I need to replace my u-joint in my rear driveshaft. I went on autozone.com but it asks for "inside lock up" or "outside lock up"????????? Does anyone know where in SO CAL I can get them and possibly a part number? It has a 8.25 rear and a AW4 if that matters.

Should be "outside lock up" - I think that's referring to the position of the snaprings that retain the caps. Visually check for yourself - if you see a funky snapring on the end of the cap in the fixed 'shaft yokes, it's "outside." If you don't see that funky snapring, look on the inside of the yoke ears for the snap - that's "inside."

Funky terms, but they make some sense on further reflection...

Powertrain Industries on Anthony Ave in Garden Grovewill have them as well.

Thanks, I got impatient last night and did them. where are you located in Santa Ana? I never see XJ's (except regular transpo ones and I practically live in S.A.)

No, turns out the forward nutsert on my leaf springs is stripped out, well, spinning freely. We determined that I need to actually drill a hole in the frame, and actually reweld the nut to the body just to get that nut out. Oh yeah Cal, you forgot those Bisteins at the shop yesterday.

I didnt forget them, left them to see if they would fit jonnies jeep. I'm going 7100's and figured he'd get good use out of them.
