      Get the spicer 760x like the ones in the link I posted.

      The 760s are non greasable and have a strong center section compared to the 297. they are both the same size but the 760s are stronger. they cant be serviced But I usually change my u joints once or twice a year anyways if they don't snap.

        Pretty sure they stopped making the 297s. Only 760s now.

              I wouldn't use anything but Moog (preferable) or Spicer.

                    they hold the caps in better.
                    just have to grind down a little inside the ear of the shaft.....

                    im lazy now though and use the c clips. then tack the caps in place

                      lol thats what I did. I knew the shafts would be broken long before the u joint ran out of life so i just welded them. Got me home a few times too.

                            Where i used to get mine. Part no. is Spicer 5-760x

                            As long as u had the 297 shafts they are a direct fit. About $25 each, i beat the crap outta mine and they never failed me.
                            No worries, I'm not actually back, I'm just reminiscing about the old days.
