Re: [Chrysler300] Correct 1957 300C U-joints

[Keith Boonstra <kboonstra@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, we'll just see how this turns out.  I just received a front and a 
rear set, and brought the kits and the shaft over to the corner 
mechanic.  He's going to check them over and see if it's the right stuff 
tomorrow.  I told him even if the parts are wrong to still give me the 
shaft.  He pointed out that he usually does that without my asking.

Guy I bought them from checked it out in his books and says these have 
to be right.  The two sets are NEA D4265R for the front and 285700 for 
the rear.
