For the rubi44, I think you want :

Spicer 5004891

Mostly up in the $70-$90 range, but there were a few on ebay for $28. 4WP was selling them, maybe a mis-print.

The shop I had do them had problems finding the correct joint. Chrysler said the axles need to be replaced. They finally found aleft over. I still have no idea what joint is used.

Same markings but venders are giving my a different joint #

Edit: "obsolete" but leads to this.
A 1350 joint which makes sense

My local auto parts store only carried Moog. It seems to be holding up well

Yes I installed moog from auto zone but they are not the right size and didn't fit correctly for some reason, guess I am going to have to break down and buy the good quality ones !
