I had the U-Joint replaced on the 85 300D. dropped it off at South Bay Drive Line in San Jose. they sent it up to San Leandro to a machine shop that cut out the stakes. they may have cut in grooves for the clips, I don`t remember. they sent it back to South Bay, and they installed a Ford U-Joint that is grease able. think it is a standard joint used on mustangs.

Cost was around $265. he said to give it a shot of grease about every 10,000 miles. they do the work, and it comes back balanced.
This also included a new center support bearing.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
