Precision u joints

[donniekak]

So, I was rebuilding a driveshaft for a bone stock 2g and used the precision joints from Napa. Well, 2 from Napa, and one from oreilly's. That's where it got interesting.

Just getting ready to install these myself. The one on the left is correct. The one on right is probably miss boxed. The 398's don't have a zerk fitting. Doesn't even look like a Moog/Precision (Federal-mogul) u-joint.

Maybe Napa had store brand u joints in a precision box. I ordered p398's. Oreillys had the better part.

Odd, since Napa by me doesn't even carry FM u joints for a 2g. They only have GMB.

Napa NPJ P398 is a u joint for a different vehicle.

Type p398 in the search box and see what comes up?

I did, and only NPJ P398 comes up, and "does not fit" 97. Search by vehicle, and only ATM DC81 (GMB)pops up. Did you install it?

Yes, they fit fine. I have a bone stock 97 GSX I'm getting back on the road. Bad trans, driveshaft, diff, and diff bushings. The u joints fit fine. They'll be getting tossed out when I mod the car though. I just wanted to get the car running and and driving without having any vibrations or clunks so I could make sure the chassis is solid before I tear it down and mod it.
