Front drive shaft scrapper ring?
« on: June 19, 2013, 03:26:09 pm »
I am trying to find the scrapper ting that goes inside the threaded cup between the splined yoke and the forward U-joint. Mine has been in for 26 years and is in 3 pieces. Do they have a specific name an can I pick the up at a normal auto parts store?

Thanks in advanced for he help

Thanks a lot Irish...that's it the dust cap. I found a speed shop in Virginia Beach with a custom drive shaft shop and they had one. I can't believe that I couldn't think of such a simple name as 'dust cap'! I went ahead and got a new u-joint since this ne has never been changed and the ne one is greasable. I already got the old one out but now its feed the kids time so I will have to put he u-joint and shaft back in later tonight.  Thanks again for the help
