Default Need help asap

I was driving and kept here an clunk sound when I go from drive to reverse. I looked at my drive shaft and I found the problem instantly.
I have a rubicon express rear ds and was wondering what size is the u joint and how hard is the fix?

Easy fix. U joint should be Spicer 1310. Local NAPA or CarQuest should have the joint for 10 or 15 bucks.

They ask what year my jeep was and they kept saying oh that's a cv joint. I said yea the stock ds are. I have an aftermarket ds that uses a u joint. They said we don't carry u joints or aftermarket parts. I just walked out pissed off. I went to discount auto and I told them about it and 2 seconds later the guy hands me a u joint. Lol

OP says he is running a Rubicon Express drive shaft. They typically use 1310 joints.

Use this chart to measure and compare your existing joint.
