is the back half of a drive shaft on a 90 245 the same as any other 240's? 200

my u-joint at the differential is gone way bad. I thought that because it would be rare to find a drive-shaft shop open on the week-end [Denver]I will just go the pull and save and find a good drive shaft. but will I find THe same year?,probably not.therefore the original question.Blessings,Kris

    It is not hard to replace a u-joint with a big hammer, a socket, and a hard surface (like a used brake rotor). Having said that, if you want to replace the drive shaft you will want to buy the entire unit and not just the back half. The 2 sections of drive shaft are balanced as a unit. Replacing just one of the halves will almost certainly result in a vibration

        I think it is better to use a big vice and some sockets as spacers, and press the caps in or out. Hitting it is liable to cause it to suddenly fly apart, showering little needle rollers everywhere.
        The shafts are not all the same - basically they are either large section or small, but with different lengths at the front end to suit different gearboxes.
