Spicer u-joints for 2006 Rubicon Unlimited

[LJMolina]

I hate to beat a dead horse here about the spicer u-joints... But I am about to order and replace all my ujoints for my 06 Rubi Unl
It is my understanding is to use the spicer brand for all the joints. Here is what I gathered, and please correct me if I missed something.
I chose the non-greaseable since its my understanding they are also stronger than the greaseable.
(1) Front L/R axle shafts - Spicer 5-760X
(2) Front Drive Shaft connecting to front axle - Spicer 5-793X
(3 -4) Front Drive Shaft connecting to Transfer Case - Spicer 5-1330X (there are 2)
(5) Rear Drive Shaft connecting to Transmission - Spicer 5-1330X
(6) Rear Drive Shaft connecting to rear axle - Spicer 5-1330X

I rebuilt my rear tom woods in June and the stock front in 2024. front parts are from denny's. Rear is from Tom woods. I did all greaseable but that's my choice and I have a 06 rubi lj also.

The factory u-joint on standard (non Rubicon models) is a Spicer 5-297. A highly recommended upgrade is the Spicer 5-760x u-joint which was specially designed for the Rubicon at Jeep's request.

Driveshaft u-joints:
The stock driveshaft u-joints are Spicer 1310. There are three u-joints up front and two in the rear. A highly recommended upgrade is the Spicer 5-1310x which is sealed, as well as a stronger and...

Thanks guys! I was getting a bird squeak from the center of the jeep and found that the front cv centering yoke was damaged this morning...Which I didnt know that it had one until Oldmanjeep mentioned it. Love this forum!

Which cv centering yoke should I get then? and where can I get a replacement?

Spicer brand, same place you get the rest of the u-joints. Denny's show 2 for rubi front driveshaft #211179x which is greasable, #211996x is non-greasable..
