Yea I know, I should be able to just waltz in anywhere with mine, well not quite. Mine were heavily tacked on so I had to grind them off to get them out. They were all but locking up my steering so had to go. I did some looking around the usual auto parts places I could find and Tractor supply was the only one that came close. Close but too small and across the calipers showed they really were small by .025ish .
Do any of you guys have the bearing part # of a comparable joint or the actual "real" dimensions of those 2 identical joints? I sure hate to go to a dealer for something like that and get raped or am I better to go wandering around with the yokes and old bearing remnants in my hand till I find some place with comparable.
 
Get the u-joints that are .025" to small and have a good machine shop to hone or ream them to fit. I had a Super C and I replaced the u-joints on its steering. The new one had zerk fittings on them as the old ones didn't. Hal
 
Makes sense. Also explains why the old one with the zerk had the tac welds like someone was purging up a building. Not just meeping in placements . At least now i see what may be going on.

Just remember to align them with the u-joints on the other end of the shaft, or they will bind and turn hard.
 
Call the dealer and ask what part # 84355036 costs before you set out to re-invent the wheel. At some twenty bucks, you are NOT going to get much re-inventing or custom machine work done!

Some sources say a PRECISION (brand name)#861 kit from an auto parts store is close enough to work, but I have NOT personally confirmed this!
