Good luck getting from an autoparts joint. They're the larger cap ones for your car, and spicer would be good. Unsure if bursons would carry it but they should.

• Front axle uni Model: DANS-5-760X Spicer
Alt 5-297
IIRC the 5-297 is about in Australia. The 5-760 is an upgrade & Spicer dont even have a listing in Australia.
Unless you are doing hard core rock hopping on 31's, the 297 will be fine. Its what was originally fitted. If you want the upgrade, maybe Wooders can help. They are not cheap.

i rang my local Spicer

as I recall, there is 2 different unis, and apparently the wrong one often gets ordered/sent!

I cannot recall the details, but that would assume different size journals?

iirc about $75 per uni

as my front didnt make any more noise, apart from the one time, I put it off, and thought a bulk order via Rock Auto would be cheaper
