I'm going to replace the u-joints on my 245 while the drive shaft is out for centre bearing replacement. The parts house lists two different ones: 3" and 3-1/8"
Any easy way to decide which ones to order, short of taking the car out of service to dismantle it?
Thanks...
buy both, take the remaining one back.

Check the diameter of the driveshaft. The 3-1/8inch is for 50.8inch diameter driveshafts. The 3inch is for 44.5inch diameter driveshafts.

Ummm... those are some extremely large drive shafts.
Perhaps you meant 50.8mm and 44.5mm?

Years ago when I bought some brake pads, the guy at the parts shop told me to buy both and return the one I didn't need. It's not really any trouble for them if you don't damage the part, they just put it back on the shelf.
Yes, mm is what I meant. Thanks Gary
