U-JOINT SELECTION???
U-JOINT SELECTION???
I JUST PURCHASED A 12 BOLT FOR MY 92 CAMARO Z28(305) AND NOW I NEED A CROSSOVER U-JOINT. I NEED SOME HELP ON CHOOSING WHICH ONE I NEED. I CALLED MOSER ENG. AND A TECH GUY SAID THAT HE NEEDED TO KNOW THE SIZE OF IT. HOW DO I MEASURE TO FIND OUT THE SIZE? DO ANY OF YOU GUYS KNOW THE PART # OR SIZE ALREADY? THANX, NATE

The u-joint to fit in the stock driveshaft is a Precision 534G. You'll need to take the yoke off the diff and take it down to your local parts store. They can match up the size the yoke needs. Then with those 2 sizes, they can give you the adaptor u-joint.
Will the driveshaft be the correct length with the new diff? If you need to lengthen or shorten it, have the end yoke on the shaft changed to the same size u-joint as the diff yoke.
