The Scoop on U-joints

Well..I decided to try to get the final word on what's what relative to the recent several threads on DII front propshafts.
This information is direct from Neapco and Spicer technical support.
1. Neapco PN 1-0005, also sold at Advance Auto boxed as PDQ 1-0005.
This u-joint is made by Neapco and sold with the Neapco box, and also reboxed as PDQ for Advance. PDQ u-joints are normally not made by Neapco, but as the volume is low, Neapco makes these particular ones.
(Note: {10-26-08} It appears that Advance no longer carries them in the store. They do online and also Autozone still carries them)
2. Spicer 5-4x. Still shown as active in the Spicer sytem, but not made by Spicer. They are purchaced from an outside vendor. This might explain the conflicting reports of where the zerk fitting is located (end cap vs. cross) depending on which batch/vendor they come from at the time.

Neapco's PN for the center bearing kit is 7-0081NG. It must have the NG suffiz to denote it being non-greasble. The 7-0081 has different dimensions. The 7-0081NG crosses to the Precision and NAPA 617.

As of today I can definitely confirm that the PDQ 1-0153 (crossover from the Spicer 5-153x 1310 series used in the GBR rear DC shaft) is not made by Neapco. Unlike the PDQ 1-0005 (used in the DII front) which is made by Neapco.
I expected this based on what Neapco told me since it's a very common u-joint, but hadn't actually checked with my own eyes.

Thought I'd let folks know so you don't waste your time with the PDQ 1-0153.
