I'm trying to replace the u-joint in 934 and can't seem to locate the specific u-joint. All of the part stores that I called today claimed that they didn't list one. Does anyone know of a part number I can cross reference to find one or know of a place I can find one. I know JNZ offers it in a rebuild kit, but I don't want to wait for them to ship it and would like to get it tomorrow so I can reinstall the t-case.

The cheapest way to do it is buy a yolk replacement kit. It comes with a yolk and u-joint for less than the price of a u-joint by itself. I'll dig up a box with part # for you tomorrow. You can call the shop if I haven't posted it by the time you need it.

Was able to cross the Mitsu number with Napa and they have them in stock. For reference the part number is PUJ398 for the Precision Branded joint and NPJ P398 for the Napa Performer brand joint. Thanks guys.

Transfer Case Recall Kit PN# MR470072

U-joint PN# MR131856

The transfer case kit is cheaper.

This is all listed in the Info section. I even listed an AC Delco number in there as well, however it's only good for low power cars.

Every u-joint is the same. However a warning. The aftermarket will work, but like all aftermarket part, after a couple years it will get loose. Mine made it about 10k miles. Better off going with the u-joint in the recall kit.

are the u-joints in the recall kit oem? I feel dumb for asking because it's cheap.

Yes. However you get one joint per recall box. You will need to remove the joint from the front yoke in the kit, but it works. Also a little knowledge will help as there are shimmed circlips and the clearance must be set. Feel free to search through the how-to section. I think there might be some guides. There was a thread about driveline thump. I would also recommend replacing the carrier bearings while your at it since the joints have to be removed to replace the carrier bearings. If they are factory they are shot.
