I was most interested to see if someone knew what U-joint to replace it with.

I happened to have kept an the Old Ball Joint I removed from my Diesel Volvo. It appears that the Bearing Caps are the same size. I do not know if the Yoke has the same dimensions or not.

I am off to see if I can find the threads by "Fairmont? Fairlane?".
It was a long time ago (maybe 2004 or 2005) someone had a pretty detailed posting about how he used U-joint from a Ford car (I'm thinking early 80's) that was a match. It was a Fairlane or Fairmont. I can't remember which.
