Hi All,
Using the long weekend to finally swap the Universal Joints on this 1999 4WD, (2 Door, Extended Cab). I ordered some MOOG Super Strength Non-Greasable U Joints and got the front one in easily. But the rear one is insane. I'm thinking it's almost impossible. I referenced MOOG's site and it stated Part No. 254 but after [barely] getting one cap seated and the clip in, it actually came back out when I did the opposite side.
I noticed the OEM sizes were nearly identical, (if not identical?). Has anyone else run into this? I took a few photos before starting. The first is both OEM and replacements (rear on left). The second is the front, (which is Part No. 269). The 3rd photo is the rear joint. Any help is appreciated!
