Holy UJoints Batman, I need help!?!?
I want to replace the u joints on my truck. 1996 4x4 extended cab full size bed.. It has the drive shaft with the bearing/mount half way down. There are 3 U joints total.
I think I'd like to get these from rock auto but the description says 2 joint drive shafts. NEAPCO 24900BF
Others say they fit all rear joints? Are all the rears the same?
I've had an odd vibration when I let off the gas, lately it's getting worse, since all our snow. occasionally I feel it while driving but it comes and goes fast and doesn't seem to be speed dependant. Not sure what else could be causing it. Everything seems tight but is 20 years old and sat for a while.

I did the center u'joint in a 96 2wd with the 2 piece shaft and hanger bearing last summer. The center u joint was the same as the rear, so I think you're safe in assuming all 3 will be the same.
Do yourself a favour and change the hanger bearing too while you're at it. And start soaking the u joints and hanger bearing bolts with penetrating oil now.

so it looks like the center support, it appear to come in just over 1.5" and 1.35" there are no descriptions as to what trucks it fit. I'd assume the larger is for 4wd. How do I tell which the truck takes?
