the Spicer replacement driveshafts would use the imperial size Spicer 3-2-159 yoke with dimensions to accept the 1.187" (30,2mm) X 4.187" (106,3mm) UJs

where the original driveshaft yoke was the 32mm X 106mm UJs

the discription of your "new" UJ appears just to be wrong A/B dimesnion


Latest information, I called my supplier and informed him that the differences were

107.9 instead of 106.2mm

and the height of the cup (E) is 3mm shorter than original. 18mm instead of 21mm.

His reply was that the 107.9 would compress to 106.2 when fitted and he was correct.

He also said that the 3mm difference was unimportant and would be perfectly acceptable.

not being an expert at sod all, I just have to believe him. I just need to repair the driveshaft which was damaged whenever years ago that the old UJ failed, fingers crossed.
