Looking to swap u-joints and was wondering if I can use the same axleshaft for the newer style u-joint? I don't know if the caps are bigger or not. Thanks.

Interesting. Sure it was an 87? Most of the info I've gotten on the axles points to the following:85xjwoody said:Broke both axleshafts awhile ago and stuck in some out of an 87. Now being locked I would like to make sure I have something decent out there. The 297's will probably break also just want something a little stronger. First time locked up front.

mjma said:Right on. Grab the hubs too!! I usually bring them up and say I want the shafts but couldn't get the hub off, and they still give them to me for dirt cheap with a good hub on there!!
