1982 mercruiser 260 pre alpha u-joints

[MarineMariner]

I am considering changing my ujoints. They are not sloppy, but they do feel broken in for sure. Would you guys recommend changing them? Also are the part numbers on this thread

I would put my serial number on here. But apparently it does not match any literature I have seen. 0070045 is what the upper says on the data plate

I just went through this myself, along with the number Don gave, here's a more complete list that your auto parts guy can do something with:

SPICER# 5-1306X
ROCKFORD# K1306
DETROIT# 7260
NEAPCO# 1-6300 / 1-6301
PRECISION (MOOG)# 315G
TRW (FEDERAL MOGUL)# 20030 / 20030P

Ayuh,... These'll work....
