Which driveshaft u-joints (8.8 & D30)

phoric · 05-01-2007, 10:31 AM

Been looking around trying to figure out which type of ujoints I need to buy to replace all my driveshaft (front and rear) ujoints. From what I've read it sounds like the front end typically has Spicer 1310's, but I can't find any info on what my rearend has (same thing all around perhaps?).

92 YJ. I have a Ford 8.8 in the rear with SYE, dana 30 up front.

1310 spicer is what you need, me and a buddy are getting ready to do the same, i have a d35 but he has the 8.8. all is the same so you were right.

1310's everywhere, UNLESS your adapter flange for the 8.8 is a 1330 or something like that. make sure to get the right ujoint for it. mine is 1310, but there are some others floating around too

Can you tell just by looking/measuring or comparing with the 1310's up front? The PO is the one who put in the SYE so I'm not exactly sure what he used.

I thought I read somewhere that the 8.8 Explorer flange adapter had 1330's in it stock. When comparing it to my stock U-joint that I had in my D35, it looks like it will fit it perfectly.

What is exactly different between the 1310 & 1330, just larger overall?

Yeah I checked the FAQ and I believe thats what is stated there (go down to the section on the 8.8's near the bottom of the page).

Now the problem is figuring out if the driveshaft yokes were converted to the 1310 type when installed on the Jeep and how to tell the difference.

1330 has a larger cap diameter with a wider spread...

yup, what he said.

you should just be able to measure and tell the difference.

Sweet thanks guys, I will probably just yank the driveshafts and measure away. I have some movement in a few of the joints and its time to replace them. First time servicing driveshafts myself so it should be fun.

The 1310's are 3 7/32" from bearing cap to bearing cap.
The 1330's approx 3 5/8" from cap to cap.
