Most respectable auto parts stores (Advance Auto) stock spicer u-joints. If they don't, call Van Steel or a driveshaft or differential repair shop; they should stock/sell them.

I bought my spicer u-joints for the driveshaft from the shop that shortened it for my 700R4 and the u-joints for the half-shafts were included with the rebuilt units from Van Steel. Prior to getting the rebuilt half-shafts, I purchased spicer u-joints for the half-shafts from Advance Auto.

Try a drive shaft or truck parts store. They should be about $18 ea.

Thanks! I am so used to buying from mail order, I didn't even think to try the local auto parts stores.

Are the Spicer joints as good as GM heavy duty joints?
