Universal joints

[MahFiVeOh]

Are they all the same or are they different? The reason i ask is because the local Carquest said there are 3 different kinds. One for aluminum, steel and one for steel with aluminum coupling (pretty sure thats what he said) drive shafts. Are they just giving me the run around or what? I'd like to replace them this w/e if possible because i dont need one letting go doing 110 kms down the highway to work.

Thx

The aluminum driveshaft might have a differently-sized U-joint, and if you're adapting the yoke from one of those onto a steel shaft (or a steel shaft's yoke onto an alum. shaft), then there would be one with two different ends. Otherwise, if you know for sure your driveshaft is the stock one, just get the one listed for the steel shaft and you'll be fine.

And I'd try for a non-greaseable U-joint. They're stronger.
