I'm getting work done on my 8 3/4 so i figured while i am waiting i would replace my U-joints and clean up my driveshaft. I am pretty sure it has a 7260 on the rear (USA 934 is whats stamped on it) and i think the front is a 7260 (Detroit 072625) stamped on it. Does this sound right? Does anyone have any suggested U-joints to replace it with? Anything i should consider/look out for?

I don't know your combo, but if it has a lot of beef, you might opt for u-jt with the grease fitting in the cap. If you buy one with a grease fitting in the crotch of the trunnions you might want to install it such that the grease fitting hole is in "compression" when driving forward.

u-joint cap outer diameters as follows
7260= 1.078"
7290= 1.126"
1330= 1.063
No zerk fitting is supposed to be stronger.

Moog makes a greasable Super Strength for 7260 & 7290. The Moog part number (246) is the 7260.
