[Chrysler300] Adapter Joints

[Ronald Kurtz <mark6268@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello, everyone:

For those who plan a differental gear change (2.76 to 3.23), there's a good 
chance the differential carrier will not be the same (741 to a 742 or 489).  If 
so, you will need an adapter universal joint that can accomodate the difference 
in the wider yoke inner span (2 5/8") on the carrier while keeping the same 
drive shaft span (2 1/8"). It's far less expensive than altering the driveshaft. 
Below are the sources and part numbers for the adaptor joint:

Spicer # 5-527
Precision #347
TRW #20226
Mancini #5-527x
Auto Zone #2-0527
NAPA #NUJ 240 0369
NEAPCO #2-0527

I recently purchased the NEAPCO joint but my search found the other part numbers 
found these. Check for availability as some stores may no longer carry this 
joint. I thought this information would be useful to some of you.

Thanks to those who brought this to my attention. The adapter joint fit like a 
hand in a glove.

Best,
Ron Kurtz
